Review: Future Gin

Future Gin hails from Southern California, the place 4 girls distilled a spirit that mixes typical gin botanicals with a couple of explicit to California, a few of that are grown in their very own backyards. In complete, 14 botanicals taste this gin: juniper, coriander, angelica, black pepper, cassia, fennel, orris, avocado leaves, elderflower, honeysuckle flowers, Meyer lemon peel, grapefruit peel, grains of paradise, and grape leaves.

Bottled at 90 proof, it’s a bit scorching on the nostril, and exhibits shiny and piney juniper notes together with pepper and citrus. Sipped neat, the flavour is extra nuanced than the nostril suggests. The juniper continues to be there, with numerous pine and pepper, however the different botanicals play an even bigger function than they do on the nostril. Citrus notes come to the fore together with an herbaceous character which was absent on the nostril, however which works properly on the tongue. In a gin and tonic, the quinine joins the botanicals to offer a posh expertise, making for extra of a contemplative cocktail than a soothing summer season sipper.

90 proof.
