Weekly Gin Recommendation

• Weekly Gin Recommendation - The Edge l’Orange
• So I have been luck enough to join the WGN - the wizards gins network and to be able to have direct access to the Wizard of Alderley Edge.
• Thank you to Mike and Clare for sorting that out for me.
• This week the wizard and I created Merlin’s magic and it seemed only fitting, as I can’t say enough about this gin, that it was my weekly recommendation.
• I normally steer clear of orange gin because all I taste is just that. The drinking of the gin is spoilt because I spend so long thinking how can I counteract the orange.
• This has got me to the point that I actively avoid gins of this nature.
• The nose is really interesting. It definitely has citrus notes and their is a subtle orange aroma.
• Normally I would expect to have the flavour strike you first and then get sweeter but that is not the case with The Edge, L’Orange.
• On tasting neat, you get a super smooth London dry, with a seemless orange taste throughout the flavour profile with a slight elevation of heat at the end.
• For testing purposes I added my normal Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic. It was not overpowered at all. This is so unusual for a gin of this nature.
• This would be an excellent accompaniment to any tonic I can think of.
• I always assess how smooth a gin is to work out whether it would work as a dry martini. The answer is absolutely. Although I think I would have to call it the Alderley Orangetini.
• The Edge L’Orange is a mixologist’s wizard toolkit. It is so versatile that it would be a great addition for many cocktails.
