Mermaid Gin

I am so happy I found this gin at my local store as the bottle is beautifully designed. When I bought it, I was afraid that the gin inside would be average at best, however, it has an amazing mix of citrus and spices that make this a special gin. According to the website the Mermaid gin has Juniper, Elderflower, Rock Samphire, and Grains of Paradise. The last two ingredients I had never heard of, but they make this gin very flavorful and easy to drink. The gin is 84 proof and has very little burn sipped neat and it mixes well with tonic water and fruit juices. The Martini is where this gin shines, but you must be careful about the vermouth that you use. I really like Dolin, but it does not work very well with this the Martini was too peppery. I used Cocchi Americano, and it was amazing and full of flavor. As a side note, I will get a new bottle of Dolin to see if that was the issue. I enjoyed trying this gin now that the warm weather is here, and I am looking forward to trying the different spirits the distillery produces. Enjoy.

Great neat, even better with Fever Tree Naturally Light
