Migratory Notes Gin is the result of a collaboration between Forthave Spirits, New York’s German cultural center, the Goethe-Institut, and Nigerian-born, Berlin-based artist Emeka Ogboh. Ogboh’s one-night multisensory exhibition Migratory Notes: New York Edition (2026) explored migration and diversity in contemporary urban life through food, drink, and sound, and Forthave’s Migratory Notes Gin was central to this experience. All seven botanicals were thoughtfully selected to represent a migration stream that has shaped New York City; from endemic North American wild mint to European juniper to African grains of paradise, each act as a vehicle to represent the cultures and history that have defined the city.
