Country: England

Background: The inspiration for Silent Pool Rare Citrus Gin, unsurprisingly, came from citrus. But the team didn’t want to make something as simple as a single citrus gin. They wanted to showcase the wonderful world of citrus, create a gin with layers of complex flavour like they do best. To find the right combination of citrus, the team went to visit a long time supplier in Portugal and investigated a collection of over 360 citrus plants. They sampled dozens and took a handful home to begin recipe development. The rare citrus they landed on for the core of the recipe were Buddha’s Hand, Natsu Dai Dai, Hirado Buntan and Green Seville Orange.
Tasting:
Nose: Light, bright and zesty citrus.
Palate: Tropical peppery notes are enhanced by cardamom and timur pepper.
Finish: Long finish with smooth mouthfeel from honey and plenty of juniper.
