McHenry Classic Dry Gin (700ml)

William McHenry & Sons is the world’s most southern family owned and operated distillery, located at Port Arthur.

Mr. McHenry's current range consists of a 10-year-old single malt under the Three Capes label, plus a triple-distilled vodka and this London dry inspired style Gin. Botanicals include, citrus peel, star anise, coriander seed, cardamom and orris root, all beautifully balanced with juniper.

Tasting note: [Retasted July 2015] Flawless crystal clear appearance with a silvery blush. Moderate scents of pine sap and lemonade. After brief aeration, light lemon cordial dominates. Entry is light and subdued - in fact, it's almost water like - following through to a whispery profile that's basic juniper / lemonade-like with very understated white pepper. Exceptionally soft, silky mouthfeel; finish falls a little flat, lacking the vibrancy and freshness associated with the genre. The peppery spices go some way to salvaging the aftertaste. Faint lemon cordial fade. 40% Alc./Vol.
