<p>An extraordinary award-winning gin, made using the traditional method of Cold Compounding (or in layman’s terms – infusing). Very high quality copper pot-still spirit is infused with ingredients including juniper, orange peel, coriander, cassia, cloves and cardamom, with the length of the compounding period controlled entirely by periodic sampling.<br><br>The result is an extraordinary gin, lightly tinted by the botanicals, and with a flavour which is both bold, and perfumed all at once. Sure to be a hit with amateur and professional mixologists alike.<br><br>Packaged using brown paper, string and wax, the presentation puts us in mind of a Victorian apothecary!</p><p><strong>Bathtub Gin &amp; Tonic recipe:</strong></p><p>- Fill a highball with ice and pour 50ml Bathtub Gin<br>- Top with Fever-tree Mediterranean tonic water<br>- Garnish with a slice of orange to really bring out the flavour of orange peel</p><p><strong>Nose:</strong> An initially juniper-rich bouquet is backed up with a solid backbone of rich grain spirit. Top notes of cardamom and orange blossom are evident with just a suggestion of cinnamon.</p><p><strong>Palate:</strong> The initial focus is juniper, but the earthier botanicals make themselves known in the initial palate too. Mouthfeel is exceptionally viscous and creamy – this is good spirit, and it makes itself known.</p><p><strong>Finish:</strong> The juniper subsides and gives way to cardamom and cinnamon, with a late resurgence from orange peel.</p><p><strong>Overall:</strong> A most unusual, but quite entrancing gin.</p>
