Applewood Distillery Gin of Lust Gin (500ml)

This is part of Applewood's "Seven Deadly Gins" series. Produced from a floral grape spirit in which fresh cherries from the 2016 harvest were macerated for 12 months (courtesy of Lennane Orchards). This was then distilled into a crystal clear cherry-rich spirit into which 50kg of fresh Raspberries was macerated for seven days. This sticky, thick, semi-sweet (and bright pink) liquid was finally infused with a super-bright Gin crafted from Lavender, Vanilla, Camomile, Earl Grey, Cinnamon, Star Anise and a mandatory double-dose of juniper. Very limited stocks.

Tasting note: Translucent pink. Semi sweet aromas of raspberry jube and black currant juice over fresher citrus and dried herb notes. A moderately tart, acidic thread to the delivery with an emphasis on ripe, red berries. Concludes with nice vibrancy and a late berry rush. Like a well made sloe gin. 43% Alc./vol.
