AMAZONIAN GIN COMPANY SMALL BATCH CANTINERO EDITION 700ML 41%

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: On the nose this is perhaps one of the “citrusy-spiciest” gins I have ever experienced. My first association was immediately “lime,” but behind that lime lies a complex structure of spices and herbs which I cannot ascribe immediately. I think of Szechuan pepper, pine oil, cloves, some menthol and also juniper. The latter is however rather decent and not the first impression. I simply can’t do a precise ascription of the botanicals due to a lack of detailed knowledge and experience. The aromatic impression is, however, without doubt very imposing!

Taste: Wow, also on the palate the Amazonian gin is really intense and spicy, again I have to think of Szechuan pepper with its slightly tingling sharpness, spicy and powerful lime in combination with some “woody” notes of pines, fir cones and juniper. Finally there is citron. Again, I cannot adequately assign or verbalize the overall impression.

Finish: dry, exotic and spicy.
