Opihr London Dry Gin - Spices Of The Orient

Gin description

The heritage of Opihr Spices of the Orient Gin is firmly rooted in the ancient Spice Route. Traditionally merchants would travel thousands of miles along the route, trading exotic spices and botanicals from distant lands. Opihr Spices of the Orient Gin is crafted with a selection of exotic hand-picked botanicals, carefully chosen by Opihr's Master Distiller, including spicy Cubeb berries from Indonesia, Black Pepper from India and Coriander from Morocco. The botanicals in Opihr Gin make the journey to their final destination, the oldest distillery in England, where quality gin has been traditionally distilled, using the same London Dry Gin method, since 1761. Here the botanicals are married with fine English spirit to produce an exotic oriental spiced gin. A rich and robust gin with a smooth perfume and sharp bursts of citrus. Key notes of cumin and cardamom provide a warm, earthy background balanced with grapefruit peel. Soft camphor on the palate, some sweetness and Oriental spices create a warm mouth feel that lingers but does not increase intensity.
