GORDON LONDON GIN

Alkkemist Gin is born on a base of grain alcohol 3 times distilled. It is made in traditional copper alembics, with a quadruple distillation. Alkkemist Gin is the first gin that uses Muscat grape in its making. Fruit notes rush to the fore, with grape sweetness intact. Supporting notes come from clove, peppery juniper and a floral waft of rose. The finish has a subtle salinity of samphire paired with juicy orange.

A first wave of oriental spice hits the palate from the pink, black and Szechuan peppercorns, closely followed and balanced by sweet citrus notes drawn from the peel of Paraguayan bitter oranges, Sicilian lemons and Mexican pink grapefruits, finished off with an all-out star anise assault.
