The Lakes Pink Grapefruit Gin 70cl
The Lakes Pink Grapefruit Gin It is the location in the North West of England, The Lake District National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), which gives this distillery it's name. This is an area of oustanding natural beauty, and over the centuries has inspired poets, artists, novelists, sculptors - and now distillers. Having worked in the Scotch Whisky industry for many years, Paul Currie used to take family holidays in the Lake District. With whisky in his veins, he felt there was an opportunity for a distillery in the Lakes. The area had all the requirements: water, land, old farm buildings suitable for conversion, potential visitor numbers; but most importantly it felt right..... and so they began distilling premium spirits. For their gins, they infuse their unique botanical blend with the best British wheat alcohol, as well as pure water from the Lake District in which they are located. Juniper, coriander and angelica provide their flavour cornerstones. Orris root, cassia bark and liquorice offer complementary flavours with orange and lemon peel enhancing the gin’s citrus notes. In this edition they also add a good quantity of Pink Grapefruit, which enhances the citrus notes further. On the nose this has a bright, fresh and zesty aroma of grapefruit - which is complimented by piney juniper and a hint of coriander. On the palate the zesty pink grapefruit comes through perfectly. The background brings in the crisp juniper, and black pepper before leaving a smooth and defined citrus finish More from The Lakes Distillery Perfect Serve This makes a deliciously refreshing Gin & Tonic. Take a large glass and fill with ice. Add 50ml of the gin and gently pour over 150ml of your chosen tonic (any quality tonic will work, but we like this with East Imperial Tonic Water). Stir gently and garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
