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.
Tastes like pine sawdust...not for me.
Tastes like mouthwash. Nasty shit. Wouldn't buy it. It was a gift. Apparently the gifter didn't taste it either. If this is supposed to taste like the Forest, a bear shit in the woods.
A world apart. The best naked Martini I ever had. Superb.
Distinct flavouring (sage) may not be to everyone's taste but this is fresh, strong and fabulous! One of my favourite gins.
Palate is completely overpowered by the very strong sage flavor. I don't know how the other comments notice anything else. Maybe they've never tasted sage before. This should be branded as "St. George Sage Gin." It drinks smooth and doesn't have nasty flavors or textures, so I guess it's a decent gin if you want an explicitly sage flavored spirit. Otherwise I'd recommend against it.
