Notes

About A Glaswegian in Paradise: This is a London Dry style offering intensity and freshness to your favourite gin-based cocktails. To achieve a profile worthy of our members’ palates, we rest the gin in freshly tipped whisky casks to enhance the sweeter citric notes from the botanicals. Here, GN1.16 rested for 6 months in a 1st fill Tennessee whiskey barrel. A few gin-based cocktails that will make GN1.16 absolutely sing include The Martinez, French 75 and Pomegranate Gin Fizz.

Tasting Panel Note: The floral aroma of a potpourri of scented geranium and rose leaves was followed by limes, sweet cantaloupe melon and spearmint. The creamy texture on the palate neat was like a lemon and herb butter sauce before a delicate ginger spiciness combined with some lavender and fizzy lime sherbet to leave us with a tantalising tingling in the mouth. With the addition of water we got at first, once again, a floral scent – this time hibiscus and magnolia – before a spicy note of black pepper, cardamom and aniseed appeared. The taste was like a blanc rhum agricole from freshly pressed sugar cane: light, fresh and slightly earthy and herbal in the finish.
