It took us some time, but we finally got St. George Spirits Gin selection. They are amazing! What we have (so far) in the Gindicate Test Kitchen is a sample box, not the full sized bottle of each, but a box of 200ML bottles. We purchased ours at their Hanger 1 distillery store. This means we have to be careful with mixology until we can drive the 15 miles to get a larger bottle! We aren't even surprised that their Gins taste great straight at room temperature. That just shows the craftsmanship and truly excellent quality of St. George. Below is our breakdown of their Gins:
Dry Rye Gin – “An assertive and elegant American dry gin to delight the unabashed juniper lover,” and how! We get rye, licorice, rock candy and cardamom in a full frontal assault of flavor that leaves you saying, “Please, sir, can I have another?!”
Botanivore Gin – “A botanical balancing of the highest order, pot distilled from wildcrafted juniper and an array of choice herbs, spices and citrus.” This is a crisp, well balanced and juniper forward gin that is extremely versatile. We can’t wait to try it in a martini, Collins, and gimlet!
Terroir Gin – “A uniquely California gin with a sense of place and poetry, distilled from sustainably sourced botanicals,” which is an understatement. This gin smells like the trails that crisscross over the Northern California foothills. It reminds me of running through those sweet grasses as a child, brushing against bay laurel and picking the fronds off wild anise to eat on the way home. This is my kind of California.
Congrats to St. George Spirits on a fantastic line of Gin! Now we get to experiment in the Gindicate Test Kitchen to find our favorite pairings/cocktails. Follow St. George Spirits' twitter feed for great cocktail suggestions and come back soon so we can show you what we’ve been up to!
