Today’s gin was Smoked and Salted Gin from nginious!. I had it with Fever Tree tonic water.
It was colourless and smelt of gin. It tasted of salted caramel, with a definite salty aftertaste, which made it very moreish. I didn’t get much of the smoky taste, though.
Nginious! cold-smoke chestnuts before maceration to get the smoky flavour. They also use orange, quince, coriander and ginger.
I loved this gin, and I gave it 9/10. I would definitely drink it again.
Here’s what I tweeted about it:
#Ginvent day 6: not getting much smoke, but am getting best salted caramel since mac nut Ben and Jerry's. Salty aftertaste makes it moreish. pic.twitter.com/taOEF34xzy
