Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin (75cl, 37.5%)

Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin is a flavoured gin from Girolamo Luxardo in Torreglia, Veneto. It starts as the house's London dry gin, distilled with nine botanicals: juniper, coriander, iris, angelica, sedge, liquorice, cinnamon, cardamom and bitter orange. That gin is then infused with juice from the estate's own Marasca cherries, giving a deep red colour. It is bottled at 37.5% vol in a 75cl bottle. The nose is pungent with Marasca cherry and intense juniper. The first taste is typical of gin, with a spicy character, and it ends in a long, sour aftertaste.
