Bulldog London Dry Gin

Description

London Gin | 40% ABV

Commercial Description:

A brazen breed, perfectly balanced with natural poppy, dragon eye and hints of crisp citrus. Bulldog guards the time-honoured tradition of distilling, meeting all opposition with brilliant character and a palatable disposition. Respects its spirit and it will remain forever loyal.

Tasting Notes: 

The nose is slightly floral with lavender, juniper, and a bit of citrus. Some lime and a bit of sweet orange zest.

The palate, despite the bounty of Asian botanicals reads more clearly in the traditional spirit. Heavy with angelica, especially mid-palate, the juniper is piney at first and a bit astringent towards the finish. Quiet floral notes whisper but remain as a distant backdrop.

The finish has a bit of astringency again, rather medium-short in terms of flavor, it tapers quickly leaving a faint, slight alcohol ringing in the recesses of the palate.

The spirit is rather mild, but also somewhat thin. Rather than coating the tongue and evolving, it fades rather quickly.
