Pegasus Distillerie Orion Gin (75cl, 43%)

Orion is an organic French gin from Meursault in Burgundy, distilled from organic Burgundy wheat and barley with water from an underground river more than 120 metres beneath the distillery. It is built from five organic botanicals, including citrus from Menton and plants and a flower hand-harvested in the Swiss Alps, over juniper, lemon, orange flower, angelica and coriander. Each botanical is distilled separately in small batches and the distillates are blended afterward. Bottled at 43% ABV in a 750ml bottle, it is clean and softly sweet on the nose, with gentle juniper and bright citrus. The palate is juicy and citrus-led, with tangerine and orange peel over a viscous, rounded texture, fresh mint and delicate Alpine florals, with juniper settling into the background.
