The second release from the Pothecary Gin folks in Dorset, Sicilian Blend is made with Sicilian lemon, Sicilian orange and Sicilian almond, along with Serbian juniper and wild-foraged gentian root, with the blending method used for intensity of flavour – and it's certified Organic by The Soil Association. It also features the Sicilian Coat of Arms on the label (which looks a little bit like the Isle of Man Coat of Arms).
Refined juniper and subtle nuttiness from the almond - almost a little bit toasted at points. Refreshing citrus peel gives it a balancing sweetness.
this gin has Orange, Lemon, Roasted Almond and Gentian Root alongside Juniper. The sweet orange aroma combined with the bitter, woody character or the Gentian Root makes it perfect for a fabulous Negroni - also works very well with Ginger Beer!
I tried this gin in a local bar expecting great things. It had a strange taste that I couldn’t put my finger on, then it hit me. I once built yachts for a living and the smell of anti-foul that they paint the bottom of the boats with is exactly what this gin tastes like. Some might like it but not for me.
