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.
A longtime gin fan, this has just moved to top of my list. A game-changer.
The pepper is sweet on the nose and on the pallet. Massive recommendation.
