Cutwater Spirits Gin (75cl, 44%)

Cutwater's flagship Old Grove Gin is an American gin in the London Dry tradition, vapor-distilled from a corn base and bottled at 44% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is built on eleven botanicals with a California accent: freshly cracked juniper, rose petals, lemongrass and locally sourced coriander. Alcohol vapour passes through a botanical basket for a lighter, cleaner extraction. Juniper leads on the nose with rose petal and lemongrass; the palate moves from crisp juniper into herbal-citrus layers with rose and coriander; the finish is medium with black-pepper warmth and crisp botanical dryness.
