Nordés Atlantic Galician Gin (70cl)

A gin from Galicia, on Spain's Atlantic north-west coast, a cooler and greener corner of the country than many expect. Nordés has become a familiar name on bar backs. It is straightforward to use: a tall glass, plenty of ice and good tonic. The bottle also looks the part on a shelf, so it works as a gift for someone who drinks gin at home or as the bottle brought to a dinner where nobody planned the drinks. Gin in this style usually reads aromatic and floral-leaning rather than heavily juniper-driven, with a soft, clean finish. Serve cold with plenty of ice and a neutral tonic so the aromatics stay in front.
