Product of: Product of Belgium Belgium

One of four seasonally themed gins developed by Jurgen Lijcops, Belgian sommelier and owner of Michelin starred restaurant The Glorious. The four gins are based on 24 different botanicals, each distilled separately, with the appropriate distillates then blended to make each gin.

Unusually, even the base spirit used to make this gin is made by master distiller Patrick De Keersmaecker at the same small craft distillery on his organic farm in Emblem near Antwerp using cereals grown on the farm.

This “Summer” variant of the four seasonal gins label lists “blood orange, bergamot blossom and ginger” as being its predominant flavours.

Review and Tasting


Sampled on 06/02/2016

Appearance:

Clear, transparent (turns cloudy with water).

Aroma:

Pungent zesty orange and lemon freshness, orange blossom, mild piney juniper and faint fresh root ginger, lavender and thyme.

Taste:

Upfront zesty orange and supporting piney juniper with light ginger spice. Notes of crisp green apple. Dilution amplifies citrus and reveals subtle floral notes.

Aftertaste:

Lingering zesty citrus freshness with enlivening light spice and faint bitter resinous pine.

Overall:

A citrus forward and clean gin with enlivening freshness. Juniper makes its presence known with light ginger notes.
