A Pink Pepper Gin from French producers Audemus, situated in the heart of Cognac. Made with hand-picked pink peppercorns and a handful of other tasty botanicals (including honey, vanilla and cardamom - all of which are macerated separately then distilled under low pressure and temperature). You'll find a good juxtaposition between sweet and spicy notes in this one...
Plenty of peppery aromas waft up, spicy but sweet at the same time. These touches are well balanced with cinnamon and clean, herbal notes.
An initial rush of pink peppercorn, followed by pine-y juniper and honey. Altogether quite a warming gin.
Spicy pepper lasts.

Spicy!! And I love it. Pink Peppar Gin adds a uniquely strong flavour to any cocktail you make, which is great if you want an alternative to traditional gin flavour! My favourite? A Pink Peppar Gin Martini with olives... my winter favourite :)
I travel a lot and always pick up gins from wherever I go so my collection is pretty eclectic. But the one I refuse to ever run out of is Pink Pepper Gin - the moment I run out then a new bottle is instantly on order. The flavour is simply amazing. Peppery on top, warm & vanilla-ry underneath. It won the Gin-Off in London for two years running. Works well with Fever Tree Aromatic and a sage leaf, or equally with classic Indian tonic and a slice of lime.
I am not a gin specialist, but I know what I like. Having tried quite a few gins, I admit I LOVE this one for several reasons: firstly, it tastes delicious - I like it most with Fever-Tree tonic, but have found that (due to its lovely, lovely aromas) it works with most tonics unlike other gins which can taste a bit too "boozy" for my liking. Secondly, this has been a hit with guests. Without fail, people will ask me about the delicious G&T I'm making which didn't happen before I was using Pink Pepper gin. I am now seeing Pink Pepper gin bottles at all of my friends' houses. Thirdly, it seems to be a bit of a bar keepers' favourite. I make a point of ordering it for my G&T when I'm out and see it on the bar shelves and it's often commented on as an excellent choice. Can't argue with the professionals, can you?! It comes in a cool looking bottle too and makes a great present (though this is not the reason I now see it at my friends' houses ;-) )
Had been looking to try this gin for ages and picked a bottle up in York at the evil Eye gin shop.... wow what a taste. Well worth the wait
