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.

It doesn’t taste enough like gin
I drink spirits. I like Gin. I could not distinguish the tasting notes. Flavors muddled and nondescript. Purchased in Maryland April 2020. Not even a good mixer, because that taste that makes it objectionable, makes it through the mixer.
Love this gin. Classic grain forward with strong jumpier notes. Love with Tonic and blood orange or pink/red grapefruit.
I think the only persons who wold enjoy this are those who habitually drink gin as part of their breakfast routine. Distinct similarity to cheap vodka but harder to stomach. Going to have to go in the trash, unfortunately. Half a star for catering to the intervention-prone.
No complexity at all - very disappointing
