Sloane’s Dry Gin (70cl , 40%)
A lovely little dry gin made by Sloane’s in the Netherlands. It is named after the 18th century botanist Sir Hans Sloane, who is said to have discovered many of the plants used to flavour gins today. A hearty handful of those botanicals have gone into Sloane’s gin, including iris root, coriander, angelica root, cardamom pods, liquorice root and whole vanilla beans. Rather interestingly, Sloane’s individually distill each of these botanicals for their gin, resulting in a unique flavour profile that seduces the palate.
Sloane’s Gin tasting notes include a dominant aroma of fresh orange and citrus, with prominent juniper, followed by notes of coriander, cardamom, and hints of vanilla and angelica root. On the palate, it is a balanced gin with a bittersweet, spicy finish, and citrus and juniper flavors that linger, making it versatile for both sipping neat or in cocktails like a Martini or Gin Rickey.
