Kyro Distillery Kyro Dark Gin (500ml)

Made using a rye spirit base and botanicals such as birch, meadowsweet, cranberry and orange peel before being matured in small barrels. This recently won Gold at the 2016 The Gin Masters (The Spirits Business). The distillers suggest using it in an Old Fashioned for a Summery alternative to the cocktail.

Tasting note: Bright gold with a pale straw hue. Appealing aromas of lemon cough lozenge, distant juniper and later hints of vanilla and sweet oregano. Wonderful mouthfeel with flavours of butter menthol lozenge, juniper, rye sour dough and a prolonged herbal, white pepper, cough lozenge and spearmint finish. Complex, classy and lively with the barrel input artfully managed. 42.6% Alc./Vol.
