Corner 53 Cherokee Maple & Sarsaparilla Gin

Gin description

The original recipe for Cherokee gin was inspired by the whiskey making process perfected by the Master Distiller, Jasper (Jack) Daniel and his fellow distillers. Cherokee draws its inspiration from the maple charcoal filtration process perfected by Tennessee whiskey producers since the 1800’s, to which they have attributed their distinctive, smoky, sweet taste. Whilst this process could not be replicated, it did uncover Maple as a botanical which provided a sweet and earthy flavour. The final recipe has been crafted around this unique ingredient. The sweeter edge from the Maple is balanced in Cherokee by a combination of fresh orange peel, pear and apple with an earthy vanilla note lent by the sarsaparilla.
