Beara Pink Ocean Gin (70cl, 42.2%)

A flavoured gin from Beara Distillery, combining coastal ingredients with classic gin botanicals. Salt water and sugar kelp accompany juniper, citrus peel, cardamom, angelica root and orris root, with cranberries and rose water adding floral tones and a slightly bitter fruitiness. The pink variant first appeared in February 2018 for Valentine's Day and was later added to the permanent range. Nose: juniper and citrus with floral notes and red fruit, plus strong thyme. Palate: soft, combining sweetness with fruity bitterness, floral notes, juniper, blackcurrant, a light saltiness, green coriander leaves and a hint of hay. Finish: long and full-bodied, soft.
