Old Man Gin Project Four (50cl, 42%)

A dry gin from Germany, built around juniper and coriander on a neutral grain spirit base. The botanicals are deliberately limited, giving an earthy, forest-like profile of juniper, pine, resin and damp leaf, with citrus and spice alongside. It is bottled at 42% in a 500 ml bottle. On the nose there is strong juniper with pine, resin and spicy coriander. The palate is powerful and spicy yet soft, with little bitterness or alcoholic heat. The finish leaves an oily impression with a light fruity note.
