Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin 70cl 37.8% ABV

£47.95

Description

Don’t be fooled by the sloe-red hue at 37.8% it means business. The nose reflects its rich, leathery colour; it’s a bold mix of herbal and fruity, reminding us of the edge of an orchard – or rather, in this case – a vineyard.

The first sip is toffee apple sweet, with a faint hint of burnt caramel leading a chorus of fresh fruit and big, green shrubbery. Cardamom, star anise and pepper berry float around din the distance, bringing their warmth, while the juniper from the Rare Dry Gin is ever-present. This is undeniably a gin, but one wrapped in a silky and complex fruit veneer.
