It's somewhat surprising just how well smoked rosemary works in cocktails. When you're confronted with smoked rosemary, your first thought might be to whack it on a baked potato and call it good. And, well, yeah, that is good. However, cocktails also benefit from a helping of smoked rosemary - particularly gin-based cocktails.
If you don't feel like going out, foraging some fresh rosemary and setting fire to it, That Boutique-y Gin Company have the perfect thing for you - Smoked Rosemary Gin! Get stuck into classic gin herbaceous with wafts of smoked rosemary awesomeness running through it.
Well, there’s no doubt that this contains rosemary. On the nose there’s a strong herbal note, plenty of juniper, saline seashore smells, and a hint of smoked bacon.
Peppery, lemony, a big hit of rosemary, then juniper and cracked black pepper.
Long and highly aromatic.
Distinctive and harmonious.
This was wonderful in a Puzo (Godfather) Negroni. Smoked Rosemary Gin + Campari + Marsala . Just wish it came in a bigger bottle!!
New favourite gin! Subtle savoury-ness is a real treat. Will definitely be getting another bottle for Christmas time
