JNPR : N°2

Tasting notes and characteristics of N°2 JNPR

Tasting

Appearance
Bright and crystal-clear, this non-alcoholic spirit reveals a visual purity free from any artificial colouring, reflecting the elegance of its distillation.

Nose
The bouquet opens with the resinous freshness of juniper berries, quickly joined by an intense spicy dimension. Warm notes of ginger, cardamom and allspice mingle with subtle fresh citrus touches, offering a beautiful complexity that develops further with aeration.

Palate
The attack is clean and pleasantly dry, marking the complete absence of sugar. The mid-palate unfolds an enveloping spicy warmth, carried by chilli and ginger, which brilliantly compensates for the absence of alcohol. The light texture gives way to a lingering finish where juniper and sweet spices stretch out at length.

Food pairings and tasting moments
Ideal at the end of the day or during autumn and winter evenings, it is best enjoyed chilled, neat over ice or lengthened. At the table, its spicy character resonates wonderfully with roasted root vegetables, poultry with sweet spices or washed-rind cheeses. On the sweet side, it elevates desserts made with cooked fruit such as poached pears, dark chocolate or gingerbread.

Mixology
A true aromatic backbone, it excels in the creation of non-alcoholic cocktails. It is the perfect base for revisiting a Moscow Mule or a Basil Smash. It also expresses itself magnificently in a highball with a spicy tonic or a ginger beer, or even in warm preparations such as a grog with clarified apple juice.

A non-alcoholic spirit from France with spicy intensity by JNPR

JNPR: the art of non-alcoholic spirits made in France
Founded at the turn of the 2020s by Valérie de Sutter, who still runs and owns the company today, JNPR has rapidly established itself as a leading reference in non-alcoholic spirits in France. Born from the desire to offer a credible gastronomic alternative to alcoholic beverages, this independent French brand stands out for its uncompromising production philosophy: the complete absence of alcohol and added sugar. Drawing on French distilling expertise, JNPR rigorously selects its botanicals to create complex and structured aromatic profiles. The company favours organic growth and targeted distribution to wine merchants and fine dining establishments, thereby promoting a premium and inclusive approach to conviviality, where moderation goes hand in hand with excellence of taste.

Crafting N°2: the boldness of a spicy non-alcoholic spirit
N°2 stands as the second major expression in the range, designed to offer a warm and enveloping alternative within the No/Low universe. Unlike traditional spirits, this product carries neither an age statement nor a vintage, its excellence resting on the consistency and precision of its botanical blend.

The recipe is built around a classic base of juniper berries, skilfully married to a procession of warm spices: ginger, cardamom, allspice and chilli. The extraction of these aromas relies on maceration and distillation techniques inspired by classic spirits, allowing the volatile compounds to be captured without degrading the finest notes. Alcohol, although used as an initial solvent during distillation, is then entirely removed to guarantee a zero level.

Packaged in an elegant glass bottle with refined lines reminiscent of the codes of discreet luxury, N°2 affirms its premium positioning. Its ergonomic design and crystal-clear transparency make it an aesthetic object of choice for bar professionals and discerning enthusiasts eager to explore new flavour dimensions without compromise.
