Deaths Door Gin 70cl Bottle

Product Description

Death's Door Gin has a surprisingly simple botanical mix of organic juniper berries, coriander & fennel which showcases how complimentary & complex simple expressions can be. Nose: Aromas of creamy vanilla toffee followed by peppery spice & fresh juniper & anise. Palate: A big, peppery juniper hit with notes of wood resin, citrus & spice carried on the soft, creamy spirit. Finish: Long with a cooling anise character. Unusually, Death's Door Spirits make their own base spirit for their gin, from a recipe of 60% wheat grown on Washington Isl&, Wisconsin & 40% malted barley from Chilton, Wisconsin. This lends a touch of vanilla/toffee to the nose & a soft, creamy sweetness to the gin. Death's Door Gin has a full London Dry flavour without all of the bitterness because of the distillation process & the grains that are used. In fact, you can taste all three botanicals: loaded juniper berries up front; spicy, citrusy notes from the coriander seeds in the mid-palate; & a soft, cooling finish provided by the fennel seeds. Bottled at 47% abv, Death's Door Gin is big enough to stand up to mixing & makes a phenomenal dry martini (try a dash of orange bitters & an orange zest garnish). Great as a base for classic or vintage cocktail treatment, but soft enough to be enjoyed on the rocks or as a Gin & Tonic with either an orange slice & mint sprig or just a star anise if you enjoy the fennel/anise character. Death's Door Gin truly is the utility gin of our time. Why Death's Door??? Well the name is taken from the straight of water which the wheat & juniper used in the production must cross on its journey from the fields of Washington Island to the distillery in Madison Wisconsin.
