Stranger & Sons Gin (700 ml)

From Third Eye Distillery comes Stranger & Sons Gin, distilled in Goa, India! Botanicals include home-grown pepper, lemon and coriander, as well as a mix of Indian citrus peels led by Gondhoraj limes from Calcutta, which is sort of like a cross between a lime and a mandarin orange. Unused citrus is returned to the local supplier to be made into pickles or cordials, so there is no wastage. Hopefully Stranger & Sons won't be a stranger for long...

Nose: Complex Indian spices are well integrated with piney juniper, nutty angelica and lime-led zesty citrus

Taste: Zesty citrus and assertive spice but neither overwhelm the juniper

Finish: Earthy and cinnamon-spiced with sweet liquorice
