Chris first reviewed Mahón Gin again in 2015, simply because it began to lastly hit American shores. A brand new packaging improve impressed me to revisit this one to see if something has modified in six years. Admittedly, the packaging isn’t terribly completely different. The bottle itself, inexperienced glass with a singular jug deal with, remains to be the identical, however the label not screams Don Quixote (the windmill brand stays, simply smaller). It’s additionally now being offered in normal 750ml bottles as a substitute of by the liter. Gin de Mahón additionally nonetheless carries the uncommon distinction of being geographically protected. The entire different attention-grabbing particulars and backstory on this one might be present in Chris’s assessment, however what I’m hoping to search out out is whether or not this barely new outfit comes with any modifications in style? Let’s see.
Gin de Mahón is as fairly as ever with a basic and chic profile that any gin fan would admire. The nostril remains to be juniper-forward, however it stays well-balanced in that division, with recent, candy spices providing a comfortable, if nonetheless just a little soapy, distinction. The palate stays easygoing, dominated by candy pine sap that hints at an earthy chunk however by no means fairly delivers earlier than a seamless transition to brighter citrus and just a little marzipan. The end is glowing clear with a little bit of marshmallow fluff, cinnamon sugar, and subtler notes of lemon drops and inexperienced tea.
As anticipated, little or no, if something, has modified about Mahón Gin. Whereas it stays a strong possibility in your subsequent gin cocktail, you’ll be able to simply take pleasure in this one neat, ideally over ice and maybe with a twist. And I don’t say that about very many gins.
