Weekly Gin Recommendation
Weekly Gin Recommendation - Lava Spirits Coffee Gin
- I take one sip and I am in Florence in Tuscany.
- I have just come across the bridge as the sun is setting and settled down in a nice cafe in the city.
- There is lots of hustle and bustle but I am I am having this gin and savouring a moment.
- The nose of this gin is initially a London Dry but very soon the aroma turns to coffee.
- The coffee is just so naturally sweet and I have not tasted coffee flavour like this since I last visited Small Batch in Worthing @sbcrworthing.
- The flavour profile starts with a smooth coffee taste which then goes to a sweeter coffee flavour.
- This is followed by juniper on your palette and then finally a resurgence of coffee.
- I cannot believe how two strong flavours like juniper and coffee can be fused together and that this only took 18 months.
- The fusion of these two flavours is magnificent and quite simply is a feat of taste engineering.
- I paired this with a Mediterranean tonic to test it as a long serve.
- Given the flavour profile I should have probably broken with testing protocol and gone with one of Coca Cola’s dark spirit mixers as Laura suggested.
- The possibilities of this drink really lie with mixologists in my opinion. Obvious choices are an espresso martini but I think this would be a fantastic...
