Weekly Gin Recommendation
Weekly Gin Recommendation - The Gower Gin Company Rhosili
- The only problem with buying gins for review sometimes they stay in a drawer
- When they are flat packed they are even harder to find
- I cannot believe I deprived myself of this gorgeous gin
- Rhosili is such a beautiful part of the world and a place I absolutely adore.
- The landscape is green and lush and the coastal paths are amazing.
- So I imagine myself looking out towards the sea and I can see the worms head. Which is an island just off the coast which looks like a worms head.
- I pour Rhosili into my glass
- The nose of the gin reminds me of the freshness of the coast with undertones of lime
- The flavour profile is dry initially with a burst of sweetness followed by lime taste which remains through the flavour profile then goes sweet. At 45% this is strong but you would not know it.
- It is such a refreshing taste and even better when you add tonic.
- For my test I paired with Mediterranean tonic but any light tonic would be fine.
- I would love to try this as a dry martini
- I am also dying to try this in a gin based Mojito
- I was not expecting this to taste so fresh and so Moorish
- It just had to be my weekly recommendation and definitely goes up the buying list.
