The Irish took out the top prize at the 2019 World Gin Awards. This one comes from Blacks Distillery located in the scenic town of Kinsale in County Cork. Along with the gin, they distill their own rum and whiskey. Thirteen botanicals are used including juniper berries, coriander seeds, licorice, orris and angelica root, refreshingly balanced with citrus and spice.

Tasting note: [20ml sample] Vaguely earthy / rubbery aromas present in the initial pass (latex, rubber band?) ...atypical for gin. Better after 2-3 minutes air contact revealing moderate piney / woodsy / juniper scents as well as coriander, citrus and hints of kelp. Good concentration to the vibrant juniper, liquorice, coriander and orris root-like flavours. Builds definition with sustained freshness. 42% Alc./Vol.
