New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin (75cl, 47%)

A gin from New Riff Distilling in Newport, Kentucky, copper pot distilled from twelve botanicals at 47% ABV. The botanicals include wild Kentucky juniper and American allspice (spicebush) foraged in the state, along with traditional juniper, orris root, cinnamon, goldenrod, licorice, Persian lime, angelica, coriander, bitter orange peel and lemon peel. A dash of the distillery's own new-make rye whiskey is blended in to enrich texture. The gin is non-chill filtered. The nose brings classic gin botanicals with American allspice accents, followed by a spicy-dry palate and a lively, gripping finish of citrus spice and balanced juniper.
