Scapegrace Black Gin 70cl
Scapegrace Black Gin
A particularly intriguing expression from New Zealand's Scapegrape - a black gin! It gets its dark hue from its botanicals, which include aronia berry, butterfly pea, saffron, pineapple and sweet potato, among others. What's more, the spirit changes colour when mixed with tonic water, becoming a various shades of pink and blue.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Surprisingly fruity, with pineapple and lemon up front. A slow build of spicy juniper.
Palate
Peppery and oily, a soft hint of mint leaf developing. There's still some of the tropical fruit from the nose underneath the herbaceous elements.
Finish
Dill, redcurrant, juniper and cut grass.
