Sweyn Gabelbart Passion Gin (50cl, 41%)

Sweyn Gabelbart Passion Gin is a flavoured gin from Germany, made by Old Man Spirits GmbH. It is named after the Danish Viking king Sweyn Forkbeard and combines traditional craft with botanicals including ripe passion fruit, maracuja and arnica root, the latter valued by Vikings in the 10th century and giving refined bitterness. On the nose there are juniper and coriander with fruity passion fruit and maracuja. The palate is full-bodied and complex, with citrus fruits, spicy accents and fine bitterness from arnica root. The finish is long and elegant, balancing sweetness and acidity.
