Scapegrace Gold Navy Strength Gin

Oily, soft, spicy. Low juniper. Well balanced.

Lovely!

What a smooth Navy Strength and makes a great gin & tonic.

This is an outstanding Gin. It has a wonderful citrus blend and the juniper and other spices really round out the taste of it. Now the liquid inside a beautiful bottle is HOT. I know it is a "Navy Strength" gin but wow my first drink was a hot one. That is not to say it was bad but I do not drink much high proof gin so it was strong. When I made my Gin and Tonic this stuff was amazing the citrus notes moved to the front and it was almost like a different drink. When I made a martini with it I found that it needed a full measure of vermouth. I usually use a half measure but the flavor was just wrong. When I used a full measure of Noilly Prat extra dry vermouth it was the best martini I have ever tasted. I highly recommend this Gin but it is not cheap if you like Gin especially more citrus blends then this one will be a winner. Updated information my local store now carries this regularly so it is now my High-End fancy gin for the holidays. Have a Merry Christmas everyone.

Nice gin which just won top London Dry Gin out of 600 entries at the IWSC awards. One of the few I found easy and nice to drink straight and its 57%! Made in my old home town, Christchurch, NZ. Very citrus forward, perfect viscous body and long aftertaste.

Tasty but not for me, blooms on tongue, cherry
