Mermaid Zest Gin (75cl, 42%)

Mermaid Zest is a London dry gin bottled at 42% in a 75cl bottle, made by Mermaid Distillery in England. It leans towards citrus, built on juniper with grapefruit peel, island bergamot and wild-foraged coastal rosemary. The botanicals come from the distillery's island home and are combined with traditional London dry distillation. On the nose there is bright grapefruit zest, bergamot oils, rosemary and juniper, with a hint of sea spray. The palate brings citrus peel, earthy rosemary and a balanced juniper backbone. The finish is medium in length, with lingering grapefruit zest and a clean herbal fade.
