Castle & Key Restoration Release Gin

Florals come through perfectly, balanced by the ginger and licorice roots. A gin you can drink straight or mixed and it’s delicious either way.

Using the tonic mix we bought at Castle & Key and the Castle & Key Gin to make this amazing Gin and tonic. Gin is aromatic and herbaceous, light and refreshing with no lime needed in the Gin & Tonic.

Nose: Big juniper, lemon and pepper. Behind that is some savory cassia, anise and cardamom. Powerful but complex. Taste: Thick, syrupy mouth feel. Sweet anisem juniper and lemon. Orange peel and white pepper is there as well. Proof is welcome and in check. Rich and powerful overall. Finish: Long, dominated by juniper, pepper, orange peel and essence of lemon. Delightfully powerful while remaining balanced and pleasant. Overall: This is a killer gin, and one I'm a big fan of. This nails the London Dry style so perfectly, while remaining complex and interesting and powerful. Big props to C&K on this one. It's wonderful neat, great in a variety of cocktails, and it makes a hell of a martini. Thanks for reading! Rank: 8
