Opihr London Dry Gin - Arabian Edition: Black Lemon

Gin description

This is a richly intense citrus and spice-led gin with concentrated lemon notes. Inspired by the Iranian love for Persian black lemons, or ‘loomi’ (actually sun-dried limes), which add a unique tangy and earthy flavour to Middle Eastern chutneys and stews. Black lemons play a central part in Persian cooking thanks to their sweet citrus flavour and the lack of bitters that other lemons bring – due to the drying process which is similar to sundried tomatoes – and gives the lemons their curious colour. The powerful bursts of Persian black lemons are heightened further by the zesty citrus flavours of Timut peppers, making the Arabian Edition a carefully crafted and perfectly balanced London Dry gin, elevated through the marriage of citrus and spice. A richly intense Arabian citrus and spice-led aroma. This gin has smooth soft perfume notes from our fundamental juniper core, but balanced with concentrated citrus notes of Black Lemons, and Timut peppers. A smooth, rounded London Dry Gin; soft camphor, bursts of rich citrus notes with light sweetness, creating the perfect marriage of citrus and spice.
