Finish: The palate leads straight through to the finish with a wonderful pepper influence.
Alcohol Percentage: 42.7%.
Product Description:
Darnley's View is made with a selction of ten berries, seeds, peels & roots collectively known as botanicals. The prinicpal botanicals in our recipe are juniper, cinnamon & nutmeg. We decided to bottle at 42.7% as it is the point where the combination of warming spices makes our gin tastes its best.
Juniper | In our gin the distinctive pine, lavender camphor-like flavour of the juniper berry is the keynote around which all the other botanicals are built. We select the most aromatic, oil rich berries which grow in Southern Europe.
Nutmeg | Indonesian nutmeg is a sweet & delicate seed which adds a hint of mystical eastern spice.
Ginger | Ancient ginger root from China delivers ginger & slight citrus freshness.
Cumin | The dried seeds from the delicate cumin flower originating from the Eastern Mediterranean & India are rich in essential oils giving a distinct warmth and earthiness.
Coriander Seed | Coriander seed from Morocco contributes warm, gingery, sage like flavours & a soft spiciness.
Cinnamon | Cinnamon from the innerbark of trees native to Sri Lanka & South East Asia brings a peppery influence.
Cassia | The thick cassia bark from Indonesia brings an almost spiced chocolate note.
Grains of Paradise | Native to West Africa & known as the African pepper, grains of paradise has an intriguing peppery flavour.
Cloves | The aromatic dried cloves flower buds from exotic Madagascar and Zanzibar bring balance with rich floral & herbal spices.
Angelica Root | The woody notes of dried angelica root from France helps to make our gin dry.
