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

A New Western Dry Gin from Germany, built around cherry and blackcurrant. The fruit notes are mild and slightly tart, with juniper kept in the background rather than dominating. It is bottled at 42% in a 500 ml bottle. The botanicals are blackcurrant, cherry, coriander and juniper. The gin retains its fruit character in a gin and tonic, with Mediterranean tonic suggested at a ratio of one part gin to three parts tonic. On the nose there are mild fruit notes of cherry and blackcurrant. The palate combines cherry and blackcurrant with a tart note, while juniper stays discreet. The finish is round and gentle, with lingering fruit notes.
