Weekly Gin Recommendation
- This weeks recommendation is from the Penderyn Distillery and is Brecon Gin.
- In 1990s friends in a pub were talking about creating a whiskey distillery and they 'dreamt of creating a whisky as pure and precious as Welsh gold, represented today by Penderyn’s ‘gold seam’. They did that. I loved the whiskey and so had to try the gin
- They use the base grain spirit that they use for the whiskey and create a gin with botanicals from the four corners of the world
- The nose is very much London Dry Gin i.e. heavily juniper based
- The flavour profile begins with an initial sweet taste followed by a citrus and then with the dry juniper taste at the back of the profile.
- This is a very smooth gin and 43% and goes nicely with a light tonic such as standard, Mediterranean or Elderflower.
- It could easily lend itself to a cocktail and is smooth enough to work as a dry martini although would not be my first choice.
- It has a proud place on my gin shelf and for anyone who loves a London Dry Gin with something a little bit special I can thoroughly recommend.
