Forest Earl Grey Gin, 70cl

Forest Earl Gray Gin is produced by the award winning Forest distillery in The Peak District National Park.. They pick ingredients from the local forest such as bilberry, wild raspberry, gorse flower, pine and moss. These are then ground by hand in a pestle & mortar with traditional gin botanicals, including organic Juniper, organic coriander seed, liquorice and vanilla.. These freshly ground ingredients are then small batch distilled in their tiny 30 litre pot still, before the addition of an incredible blend of Earl Grey Tea by Cheshire blenders Quinteassential, along with spring water sourced from beneath the distillery.. The resulting spirit retains all of the herbal, earthy flavours of Forest Gin, whilst the addition of the Earl Grey Tea blend adds sumptuous, delicate notes from oolong, cornflowers and Sicilian bergamot.. Try with your favourite tonic over ice with a hefty wedge of fresh lemon, or use as a fantastic base to add a depth of flavour to many gin cocktails.. Nose: Rich, sweet, distinctive. Palate: Soft Earl Grey tea, warm, smooth, a hint of bitter. Finish: Ripe tannins balanced by sharp citrus zest
