Malfy Gin con Limone

Great gin, quite rich but crisp with addition of lemon. Goes very nice in g&t and excellent for a negroni, though a tad sweet in the latter. Very enjoyable. Thank you to uncle brian for this gin.

86 N: citrusy, citron, citronová kůra, jalovec v pozadí 22 T: tekutý citrus v ginu, jemná kořenitost, pepř maličko, citrusová kůra, jemné a přitom výrazné, ze všech ochucených asi nejlépe schovaný alkohol, jemná nasládlost 22 F: střední, citrusová, trochu alkoholová s dozvukem jalovce 21 B: super citrusový gin, svěží, výrazný hlavně jedním směrem a kdo má rád citrusy, tak bude nadšen 21

Strong notes of lemon oil and a light touch of juniper. Much too harsh in its balance of flavours which, unfortunately, brings the quality of the gin down. The bottle and brand has clever and aesthetically pleasing advertising, but overpriced for what they offer. The lack of access to the ingredients' list is annoying for those who struggle with intolerances to artificial flavourings as I found that it triggered an inflammatory reaction in brain and body. A shame, really, as it feels like an opportunity missed to use gorgeous Italian lemons.

Dominant in beautifully rich lemon, a hint of juniper on the side. Incredibly summery, dangerously easily drinkable with tonic even at a higher than usual ratio.

Slightly bitter, but excellently flavoured with fantastic citrus and herbal flavours on the palate.
