BrewDog LoneWolf Original Juniper Gin (70cl, 40%)

A Scottish gin distilled in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, by BrewDog Distilling Co. It is made in small batches in copper pot stills, using an in-house base vodka. The recipe uses 14 botanicals, including juniper, Scots pine, grapefruit peel, lemon peel, coriander seed, cardamom, angelica root, orris root, Thai lemongrass, pink peppercorn, kaffir lime leaf, mace, almond and lavender flower. Juniper forms the backbone, with pine adding resinous freshness and lavender a floral note. Citrus leads into finer spice notes, while kaffir lime leaf and lemongrass lift the citrus character.
