114 proof navy strength gin from one of the oldest English distilleries. Tasted neat.
Clear with a light cloud in the glass and strong coating legs. Nose is clear juniper up front, then pine, citrus, and floral sweet. Oily coating mouthfeel, evergreen and deep organic spices, and sweet in the mouth. No real ethanol burn given the high proof. Ok, a touch, but very easy. Forceful balanced flavors, yet soft, creamy, and rich mouthfeel. Tingling spices, evergreen, and nettles in a long finish. Sweet, clean, lucious.
Tried this in a G&T and Gin Gin Mule with mint. Wonderful--holds its own and isn't overwhelmed. Martini comes next.
Would put this right up with my favorites--Plymouth, Sipsmith, Fords. Unfortunately, hard to come by in Utah and surrounds. Will make the search sweeter.
