Citadelle No Mistake Old Tom Gin 50cl
The Old Tom from Citadelle is has a delightful aroma of juniper, orange zest and cardamom which develops into floral softer notes of jasmine and honeysuckle. The flavours to be found on the palate is full bodied, elegant and has a sweet and sour profile of lemon zest, anise, almond and long lasting spices with that classic Old Tom style sweetness. Citadelle Old Tom has been aged for 3 to four months in casks before it has been blended with some sugar to get that sweet style and is then added back to the casks for a further few months. The sugar used is toasted in copper cauldrons to give some caramelization.
Jindea Single Estate Tea Gin
A joint collaboration between three spirit experts, Matthew Drakes, Jack Rackham and Adrian Gomes. Its a classic London style gin using 10 botanicals including darjeeling tea. As well as subtle flavours from Darjeeling tea the gin contains flavours of juniper, lemon, grapefruit, coriander, ginger, fennel, cardamom, cinnamon and angelica. The team enlisted a tea sommelier, Ajit Madan, co-founder of Camellia's Tea House in London and UK's first certified International Tea Education Institute (ITEI) Master Tea Sommelier. Ajit introduced the makers to a first flush Darjeeling tea from the Goomtee Estate, a single estate tea plantation in the Kurseong Valley, India. Darjeeling tea, known as the 'Champagne of Teas' and the picturesque artisan tea gardens of Darjeeling, at the foot of the Himalayas, produce less than 1% of India's total tea production. This is mostly from single estates and often organic and hand-plucked.
