Ever wondered what it feels like to hop through a jungle of flavors? Pernod Ricard has just opened the gates to a sensory playground where gin isn’t just a drink – it’s an adventure.

Every corner not only fills your lungs with the essence of the spirit but also lets you feel the echo of history behind each bottle.
