Do you know what's great? Gin. Do you know what else is great? Breakfast. Or better yet, brunch! One of the great things about working at a craft distillery is that after realising these important points, and that there's no gin on the market tailored to the glory of morning meals, you can do something about it!
Steven Kaplan set about making the perfect morning gin. Coffee was considered, but it was tea that won out as he decided upon an Earl Grey tea bergamot-forward recipe. Perfect for his brunch French 75 (and yours).
Coriander, lemon balm and rice paper are the early risers here. Following them, the aromatic, inviting notes of brewing Earl Grey start to develop handsomely.
The elegant and refreshing qualities of Earl grey are well displayed here, alongside bergamot's unique citrus characteristics and fresh juniper. A touch of peppermint and violet fragrance on the mid-palate.
Lingering sweetness with a burst of cinnamon for good measure.
'Fresh' is very much the word at the forefront of my mind when tasting this - just the ticket for enjoying with brunch.

All I get is raw alcohol. No juniper, tea or anything else really. Reminds me of St George Gins- the Terroir or the Rye. Big punch in the mouth. Not pleasant.
As a great fan of breakfast, as well as gin, I was exceptionally excited to try this gin - I really enjoyed it. It's certainly on the contemporary side of thing but the earl grey / citrus flavour adds a good intensity to the gin and mixes very well. I've enjoyed in Breakfast Martinis (quelle suprisé!) as well as with some sparkling water and a wedge of orange.
Taste like bubble gum - sorry ! Tasted it for the first time in Fuggles, Tonbridge.
