This is an interesting Gin, made with very small pot stills, and allowing the spirit vapours to go through a spice container in the neck.
Strathearn Heather Rose Gin 40%
The nose is rosy, and there are spices like coriander, a touch of cumin, juniper berries, heather, sweet and floral. The spirit itself carries a lot of taste, so the combination is unique. The taste is pretty much precisely on the same track, spicy, floral and full-bodied.
I would not put this with tonic water, but serve it on its own. Special, different, and very, very delish!

Strathearn Heather Rose Gin
F. Paul Pacult calls gin "...the best of white spirits for cocktails and my favorite overall white spirit." That's saying something. Gin has all the finesse and sophistication that vodka never will. Best yet, true world class gins can be purchased in the $20 range. A very few valid wodkas (and Everclear) appear here!
