Dornoch Experimental Batch Gin No.4
This gin right here is Batch #4 of Dornoch's Experimental Batches series, all of which are made at the Scottish distillery using organic floor malted Odyssey barley - Philip and Simon Thompson (the chaps behind the distillery) are dedicated to making their tipples without the use of neutral grain spirit! Batch #4 shows off the character of the gin excellently as it features a very low botanical content - 10 grams per litre charged (many producers use around 35-40 grams per litre charged!). As such, this might not make the best gin for mixing with tonic, but does go well with ginger beer.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Malty and subtly nutty. Brazil nuts? Macadamia nuts? One of those. Continues with a whiff of juniper and caramelised orange.
Palate
Plenty of cardamom and peppery juniper bite to it. Quite genever-like as it develops, with a hint of fruity sweetness.
Finish
Soft digestive biscuit, fennel seeds and a hint of violet petal.
