Category: Flavored Gin

Date Tasted:
Country: United Kingdom
Alcohol: 38%
Medium light ruby color. Aromas and flavors of persimmon, strawberry rhubarb, and raspberry leaf with a velvety, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, crisp finish that exhibits notes of persimmon pomegranate and strawberry, orange zest and flowers, juniper and citrus, and tomato leaf. Will be an interesting alternative in Sloe Gin applications to give a red berry forward essence.

Flavored Gin

Spirits Glass Rock Clear.jpg
Serve in a Rocks Glass
All gins are flavored, however Flavored Gin is a white spirit that is flavored with juniper berries and so-called botanicals (a varied assortment of herbs and spices) and additional fruit or floral flavors or essences. The spirit base of Gin is primarily grain (usually wheat or rye), which results in a light-bodied spirit.

The chief flavoring agent in Gin is the highly aromatic blue-green berry of the juniper, a low-slung evergreen bush (genus Juniperus) that is commercially grown in northern Italy, Croatia, the United States and Canada. Additional botanicals can include anise, angelica root, cinnamon, orange peel, coriander, and cassia bark. All Gin makers have their own secret combination of botanicals, the number of which can range from as few as four to as many as 15.
