Brute Ultra-Dry Gin
Do you like juniper? Like, loads of juniper? How about what could easily be considered “too much juniper”? Because Brute Ultra-Dry Gin might just be too junipery for even the biggest devotee of the revered seed cone. It’s a ridiculously juniper-packed gin with cold-distilled juniper to really give it an in-your-face flavour profile. It’s so heavy on the juniper that due to the amount of essential oils that have made their way into the final spirit, it’ll throw a louche when added to mixers or stirred down with ice. What’s handy about Brute is that you’ll be able to use less of it in cocktails and mixed drinks than you would a more traditional gin while still getting a similar level of juniper flavour coming through. True to its name (there’s a wink and a nod to the whole ‘Brut Dry Champagne’ thing in there too), Brute Ultra-Dry Gin is big, burly, and does not hold back.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Woah. That's a lot of juniper (as expected), bringing fresh piney aromas and an almost floral note, with a subtle lemon peel undertone and peppery notes.
Palate
Sweet as it opens up with bright lemon zest and liquorice. Boatloads more juniper builds, though it's super fresh with that floral note coming through again, reminiscent of parma violets.
Finish
Spicy, leaving the mouth tingling and absolutely full of juniper on a very dry finish.
Overall
That's... That's a lot of juniper.
