Unusual fruit alert! That Boutique-y Gin Company got its hands on some finger limes all the way from Australia for this zesty gin – they look pretty weird, with a texture a bit like caviar, but they make awesome gin.
But here's the catch – finger limes aren't really a citrus at all! Or maybe they are. Apparently they're something called a Microcitrus, which is a related genus. The long and short of it is that it's up for debate whether they ought to be included in the Citrus genus or not. Something to discuss while you sip this aromatic tipple.
A fresh nose with sour lemon and sharp limes first, before there’s savoury juniper and the hearty spice of cumin and peppercorn.
Key lime pie and icing sugar, with touches of Parma violets, fennel, vanilla and a pinch of grapefruit.
Short, with a slightly perfumed conclusion.
Fascinating, a truly unusual gin.
This gin is amazing! Where has it been all my life?
