Villa Ascenti Gin

Gorgeous gin, so good I am looking to buy another bottle. Served as recommended with Prosecco and a dash of soda turns this smooth gin into a lovely refreshing cocktail. Very nice.

Yes, the mint is very clear on the nose, but this gin is as smooth as silk and it's almost a shame to put much mixer with it. It's one of the rare gins where you can almost treat it like a liqueur (e.g. the top end grappas), and it's a really easy drinking, after dinner tipple. Perhaps because it's so smooth, if you put it in a long G&T, then you won't get much other than the mint, but don't let that put you off if you also like to have your gin with just ice and a slice.

Mint is absoltuely dominant, so it is hard to call this a gin in the sense that juniper should be dominant in the favour-profile. May work in minty drinks, but unfortunately not good in a gin and tonic

Lovely fresh tasting gin. Serve with mint leaves for a cool refreshing drink. Add limes for a ‘mojito’ gin experience
