Sipsmith Chilli & Lime Gin, 70 cl

Details

The Sipsmith folks have taken inspiration from Da de Muertos for its very own Chilli & Lime Gin! The team macerates a combination of seven chillies as well as lime peel to impart its eponymous flavours (lime is vapour infused into the spirit during distillation). The result is a gin that crackles with earthy, vegetal spice and bright juniper, and has a bright hint of citrus cutting through the warmth. Perfect if you’ve ever thought about making a gin-based variation of a Margarita.

Product Description

Sipsmith was born out of a desire to see gin production return to the city where it earned its name. With a nod to traditional hand crafted production, their London Dry Gin combines traditional copper pot distillation with a recipe that wouldn’t look unfamiliar to an eighteenth century Master Distiller. The botanicals are carefully sourced from all over the globe choosing only the very best quality ingredients. The recipe was inspired by one discovered by Sipsmith Master Distiller, Jared, in an eighteenth century book called The Art of Distilling.

Tasting Notes

Enjoyably vegetal and spicy, though a hint of red berry sweetness does develop. Lime is bright and refreshing. Oily juniper, and a helping of cardamom tucked away too.
