A clever bit of creativity from the folks at Mt. Uncle in Australia. Beginning with a classic London dry gin recipe, the team first selects suitable equivalent botanicals, grown on the Mt. Uncle farm, and then smokes them before distillation! Imparting hearty layers of wood smoke and charred flavour to the spirit, this will be a fab way to transform classic cocktails, we reckon.
A medley of hearty juniper and crisp lemon peel opens the way for herbaceous zest and warming spice, all wrapped up with whispers of oak smoke and grilled fruit.
Just had this as a taste sensation at the restaurant Copper. Absolutely fantastic. Now to buy my own yo experiment with flavours at home.
