Luxardo London Dry Gin 700ml
Tasting note: Pours perfectly clear and yields fresh, peppery/woody/root-like, juniper forward aromas. Becomes muted and leaner in later passes with the emphasis on dried herb / potpourri as well as nuances of cinnamon bark and lemon thyme. Medium bodied delivery features orris root, coriander seed and pepper over background juniper and late anise. Finishes brisk, lively, warming. Narrows out with tongue nipping spices and light piney juniper. The dry, linear character of this gin will lend itself to Martinis. 43% Alc./Vol.
Luxardo London Dry Gin was created using a recipe that was produced by the Luxardo family since the beginning of the 1900s featuring the famous Dalmatia juniper.
It was crafted with a selection of nine botanicals including juniper, coriander, iris, angelica, sedge, liquorice, cinnamon, cardamom and bitter orange, which are infused with alcohol for 24 hours in a traditional copper pot still before distillation. The solution then goes through 19 days of refinement before the product is filtered and bottled at 43% ABV.
