Many of us here at MoM Towers have wanted to visit California, but for one reason or another, we've not hopped on a plane just yet (I think it's mostly for fear of grizzly bears and not being able to get a proper cup of tea).
However, the wonderful folks at St. George Spirits have provided us the next best thing, the Terroir Gin! Now in a 70cl bottle, its botanical selection of Douglas Fir, Coastal sage and Californian bay laurel gives it a magical nose that makes you really feel like you're stood in a Californian forest (with no chance of a grizzly sneaking up on you as an added bonus!).
You're out in nature. In a forest to be precise, surrounded by Douglas firs and woodsy herbal aromas.
Fresh, with more fir, pine and bay laurel alongside the coastal sage. Well-structured and moreish.
Evocative and very long with citrus and lingering herbaceous notes.
A huge favourite of ours, it's just so evocative. Superb stuff.
There is a nice note of juniper in this gin as well as the other notable botanicals. My one wish is that it was a bit drier. It makes a good G&T with 1 part gin to 2 parts (real) tonic, about a teaspoon of fresh-squeezed lime juice. Garnish with a slice of lime 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick, twisted before placing.
Tried for the first time today, I am normally a single malt whiskey drinker but I am drinking St George Gin over ice with a squeeze of lime and a dash of soda.its hot and humid here in Adelaide today and this Gin I am drinking is fantastic
Love, love, love this! IT makes a perfect "Perfect Dirty Martini " 1 shot Terrior Gin, 1 shot vodka, olive juice & dry vermouth to taste.
What do you say - should I try this, eh? Sit on the bay, eat some hay, make things out of clay? I just may...
Absolutely, 100%, my favourite gin. Not for cocktails, sprig of rosemary and tonic... perfect. Absolutely LOVE this gin :D
