PEPPERMINT OR PEPPERCORNS

This gin from Glasgow spent some time in a 2nd fill barrel before being bottled at 50.9%.

Outturn:  267 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "Oily citrus notes combined with pine wood and pink peppercorns alongside eucalyptus on a bed of juniper and peppermint. Fresh oranges followed on the palate with drying notes of grapefruit, allspice and tree resin. A dash of water released roses and lavender with the soft fruits of blueberries and wild strawberries as incense wafted over Earl Grey tea.

The palate now exuded fresh herbs and aniseed with delightfully oily textures. Apples and pears joined mandarins and fruit jelly sweets to provide a juicy character that dried on the finish to crushed peppercorns and menthol."
