Neroli Gin (That Boutique-y Gin Company) 70cl
Neroli Gin (That Boutique-y Gin Company)
Looking for a gin with massive floral influence, well-balanced by spicy juniper and refreshing fruit? This is what you want. Neroli Gin from That Boutique-y Gin Company is based around the deliciousness of Neroli oil, which is extracted from the blossom of the bitter orange tree through steam distillation. It takes over a tonne of flowers to produce just 1kg of oil, making it a rather expensive ingredient...
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
A huge floral opening is reminiscent of an expensive perfume, with tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom, before it becomes darker and develops waxy leather and a suggestion of clary sage.
Palate
In a syrupy delivery there’s luscious orange sherbet, fresh coriander and subtle juniper. Some candied liquorice, a little incense smoke and prickles of a herbaceous, warm spice form the backdrop.
Finish
Fresh and long, the floral notes of the nose persist among waning spices.
Overall
Constantly intriguing, there’s more depth and darkness than the floral beginnings suggest, a welcome variety of flavours develop with time.
