Ginraw
Ginraw comes to us all the way from Barcelona, created by a pair of entrepreneurs with the help of four masters in their craft: a chef, a sommelier, a mixologist and a perfumer. The use low-temperature distillation to preserve the flavours and aromas of their botanicals, which include kaffir lime leave, lemon, citron, cardamom, coriander and laurel.
Juniper-forward, with fresh pine and peppercorn up front. Lime zest and coriander in the background.
Herbaceous, leafy and somewhat savoury at first, before further waves of fresh citrus roll in on the palate.
Freshly crushed cardamom seed notes bring a prickly heat to the finish.

We were at a top restaurant in Spain, but didn't want to drink wine. The Sommelier suggested this Catalan gin. As gin connoisseurs, we were a little wary, but wow, just wow. Wholeheartedly recommend.
