Ada Lovelace Gin (75cl, 40%)

Ada Lovelace Gin is a California gin from Great Women Spirits, the Coppola family's spirits line honouring history's great women. It is distilled from a 100% wheat base in a custom copper pot still using maceration and botanical-basket extraction, then proofed with Napa Valley estate spring water. Its botanicals are a code of ten, including Italian blue juniper berries, lavender, summer roses, ripe tangerines, Meyer citrus blossoms, orris root and candied ginger, some grown on the Coppola estates in Napa and Sonoma. It won Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2020 and 2021. The nose shows Italian blue juniper, lavender, summer roses, tangerine and Meyer citrus blossom over an earthy base. The palate is full-bodied with Turkish-delight sweetness mid-palate, and the finish brings orris root and candied ginger.
