McLean's Gin - Something Clear

Gin description

Created to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary, Something Clear is the first of our Collector's Edition series. This bottle is one of only 352 to ever be created. Loosely based on our original Something Blue recipe, Something Clear is a distilled, London Dry gin, with the addition of 3 further botanicals including hand-picked loquat leaf; the fruit of which we picked on the day of our engagement. Something Clear is bottled at a less-than-modest 50% ABV to reflect the equal partnership that marriage entails. The tantalising aroma of sweet juniper coalesces with a careful balance of delicate floral notes, rich earth, fragrant spice and fresh citrus, whisking the drinker away to a balmy evening in early June. Tasted neat, the liquid is bold, fruity and floral with a remarkable sweetness not typically associated with a London Dry style gin. The liquid comes to life diluted moderately with premium tonic water; fresh orange and blackcurrant flavours give way to violet, vanilla, fresh herbs and just a hint of cardamom to finish.
