Where Boar wins
Boar is what an honest Black Forest gin looks like at its drinkable best. The truffle infusion is distinctive without being a gimmick. Award medals are real, and the producer is small enough that quality stays under personal supervision.
If you want a Schwarzwald gin that earns its keep on the table, Boar is among the best answers in the category, full stop.
Where Tannenblut wins
Tannenblut is not built for the table. It is built for the registry. Three thousand individually numbered bottles, kosher-certified under rabbinical supervision within the Chabad-Lubavitch tradition, with the Rebbe Bottle No. 770 at the apex. Engraved numbering, per-bottle certificate, allocation by private invitation.
The audience overlap with Boar is small. Boar's buyer is the discerning Schwarzwald-curious drinker; Tannenblut's allocated collector is the family office, the philanthropic donor, the Bar Mitzvah father, the cultural patron — buyers who need certification and documentation, not just a great pour.
How to decide
If you're choosing between Boar and Tannenblut you are probably solving two different problems at once. Boar for the dinner, Tannenblut for the dedication. There is no reason both cannot sit in the same cellar.
