Tasting Notes
Firstly this Gin smells absolutely phenomenal, even popping the cork off the bottle you instantly get hit with so many fruity flavours. Every time I go back for a sip the smell is just amazing.
I paired this gin with a crisp Indian tonic as recommended by The Craft Gin Club. I personally didn’t like the tonic, which I think does let the gin down a bit. On first sip, it’s fruity, but also quite bitter.
I decided to mix the flavours up a bit and added some freshly sliced strawberries to my cocktail. This definitely helped to bring out the sweeter tones of the gin.
I think our good old friend ‘Fever Tree’ could have saved the day, making me enjoy my drink a lot more, but that’s just a personal preference.
There are a few things that claw back some all important points in Rosie’s Ratings.
One is that 10% of all profits go towards water projects in the worlds poorest communities! This is a lovely way to turn something indulgent into something charitable & heartfelt.
And the second thing is that I just found this incredible recipe for gin-soaked, apple & almond tart! Gahhh is your mouth watering too, I think this is the most heavenly thing I’ve seen all week!
If this gin-soaked apple recipe is tickling your fancy take a look at the recipe here at The Craft Gin Club.
One Gin – Sage & Apple ticks quite a few boxes! But its overall taste isn’t my personal favourite so far, so score’s itself a 7 out of 10 in Rosie’s Ratings!
