We were delighted to have our DARLINGTON gin selected by the Gin box for their August pack. As much as one believes in one’s own product, and waxes lyrical about it, it is only when others outside your ambit recognise the merits and one really feels rewarded.
These were the tasting notes carefully put together by the tasting panel:
SIGNATURE BOTANICALS
Juniper, coriander seeds, angelica root, citrus and fynbos notes.
NOSE
Creamy, nutty classic juniper aroma waft to the top of the nose followed by slight sweet floral notes.
PALATE
Loud coriander, with a slight piney mouthfeel and warm citrus notes – all parts striking a sweet, smooth and bushy harmony. Kukumakranka and juniper flavours are firmly and deliciously present from start to finish.
FINISH
Strikingly smooth and very drinkable.
GARNISHES
Orange, grapefruit and naartjie slices; with green olives, fresh basil leaves and sprig of fresh thyme.
