St. George Terroir Gin (70cl, 45%)

St. George Terroir Gin is a gin from California, USA, made by St. George Spirits in Alameda. It was inspired by Mount Tamalpais and uses a botanical blend including hand-harvested Douglas fir tips, coastal sage, bay laurel and juniper berries. The botanicals are individually vapor-distilled and macerated before blending. It is bottled at 45% ABV in a 700ml bottle. The nose is deeply aromatic with Douglas fir, coastal sage and bay laurel, with a whisper of citrus. The palate is bold and herbaceous with pine resin, cracked pepper and earthy spice, while the finish is long, dry and resinous with evergreen and fresh herbs.
