Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin (75cl, 40%)

Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin is a London dry gin distilled at G&J Distillers in Warrington, England. Its ten botanicals are sourced along the spice route, including cubeb from Indonesia, Tellicherry black pepper and ginger from India, coriander from Morocco, cardamom from Tanzania, angelica from Germany and citrus from the Mediterranean, alongside juniper, cumin and grapefruit peel. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The brand's natural serve is a gin and tonic with fresh ginger or cracked peppercorns, and it also works in a Negroni. The nose is rich and robust, with citrus, cumin and cardamom warming underneath and grapefruit peel. The palate is soft camphor with gentle sweetness under warm oriental spice, and the finish is long and warming with soft cracked black pepper.
