A rye whiskey, in gin’s clothing. Made with a base of 100% rye, the St. George Dry Rye has a marvellous malty signature, warm and spicy. This is followed up by a small number of classic gin botanicals, including the obvious juniper berry, black peppercorn, caraway, coriander, grapefruit peel and lime peel. These were all chosen to compliment the warmth from the rye, and it certainly does just that!
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Spices leap out at you, warming pepper and juniper, a little rocket, malt too. Grapefruit and lime, coriander, caraway, Wine Gums and Smith Kendon travel sweets.
Palate: Malty, peppery juniper, Moroccan spices, rye and coriander.
Finish: Warming, flavoursome peppercorn, quite creamy.
Overall: This is something else. And it’s something we like muchly much.
