• Hello and Welcome to Episode 24

Christmas

• Please support your local distilleries for Christmas. Would it not be nice to buy a little gift.
• There are so many distilleries to choose from.
• Maybe you also want to get into the Christmas spirits
• What about The Edge Gin Mulled Pear ?
• Or the Pitwheel Distillery oak aged Orange and Ginger ?

The Botanical Trading Company

• It was really nice to talk to Brit last week about her new subscription service
• I really love the fact that she uses shipping packaging which is 100% recyclable and biodegradeable
• I also love the fairness and the trade with the distiller who gets showcased for a month as well as getting a fair trade price for their gin
• So much so that I have decided that I can’t justify two gin subscriptions and that based on the environmental impact and the fairness to the distiller I am stopping my craft gin club membership and moving to The Botanical Trading Company

Review

Weekly Gin Recommendation

Massingberd Mundy - Marie Jeanne

• Their second gin is named after Marie-Jeanne Rapigeon of Versailles.
• She was bold, beautiful and brought Parisian elegence to the Lincolnshire Wolds.
• So I was slightly concerned that I had been gifted a gin which had to live up to the reputation of 400 years of the Massingberd-Mundy estate, be as good as Burrell’s gin and resonate a bit of Parisien glamour.
• Nose - the nose has a freshness to it and an undertone of berries and an earthy aroma, which I have to admit I asked Tristan to help me with, it was the Cassia Bark and the Orris Root.
• The flavour profile is stunning. It starts with a juniper dryness then builds to a fruity sweetness before the heat of the alcohol takes over then a burst of the berries and then fades to a similar juniper dryness again. The after taste is dry but still with the berry undertones.
• Add tonic to it and it becomes even more alive. The tonic seems to accentuate the berry taste. Like the Burrell’s there is definitely a dry finish but the berry element is where it really stands out for me.
• I used a Mediterranean tonic but this would work with any light tonic standard or Elderflower.
• This is great as dry martini especially with a bit of Starlino Rosso Vermouth
• I think this would be great in cocktails especially those that are berry based or Prosecco based !!! I would steer clear of other bold flavours though...
