Castle & Key Seasonal Gin Rise (75cl, 47%)

Rise is a seasonal gin from Castle & Key in Kentucky, bottled at 47% in a 75cl bottle. It includes locally sourced botanicals, among them juniper, coriander, citrus zest, lavender, cardamom, orange peel and cinnamon. It suits sipping neat or over ice, mixing with tonic, or using in classic cocktails. The nose is fresh with juniper, coriander and citrus zest, lifted by lavender and cardamom. On the palate juniper leads into citrus and floral notes, with orange peel sweetness and cinnamon warmth, and the finish is subtly peppery.
