Wrapped up in brown paper and dipped in wax, Bathtub Gin looks just as good as it tastes. Infused with juniper, orange peel, cloves, and cardamom, the oily, aromatic gin stands out in a G&T, and this bottle comes with a fancy highball glass to enjoy it from!
An initially juniper-rich bouquet is backed up with a solid backbone of rich grain spirit. Top notes of cardamom and orange blossom are evident with just a suggestion of cinnamon.
The initial focus is juniper, but the earthier botanicals make themselves known in the initial palate too. Mouthfeel is exceptionally viscous and creamy – this is good spirit, and it makes itself known.
The juniper subsides and gives way to cardamom and cinnamon, with a late resurgence from orange peel.
A most unusual, but quite entrancing gin.
