Blackforest Creative Wild Gin (50cl, 42%)

Blackforest Creative Wild Gin is a German gin from the WILD Schwarzwaldbrennerei & Weingut in Gengenbach, Schwarzwald. Its 65 botanicals are divided into four groups - citrus, spices, Schwarzwald and floral - each macerated and distilled separately before blending into the final gin cuvée. Before bottling, the gin rests for six to twelve months in clay amphorae to harmonise its aromas. The style combines mild orange notes and exotic fruit with layered spice. On the nose it is fresh and fruity, with lemon and lime joined by basil, ginger and tea notes. The palate is soft and mild, with lively acidity and herbal nuances. Coriander and cardamom stand out in the finish, accompanied by mace and fresh citrus notes.
