In the Galicia region of Spain, a fresh northerly wind is apparently known as Nordés and inexplicably, the label explains that the eponymous wind inspired this gin which is based on Albariño grape-based spirit.
We understand Nordés Atlantic Galician Gin is flavoured with 12 botanicals: verbena, laurel, sage, glasswort (Salicornia), eucalyptus, mint, juniper, cardamom, ginger, hibiscus, liquorice and tea.
Review and Tasting
Sampled on 23/11/2017
Appearance:
Crystal clear.
Aroma:
Potpourri, hard candy pick ‘n’ mix, bubble-gum, white pepper and faint piney juniper.
Taste:
Juniper is more obvious on the palate, but floral granny’s perfume-like notes predominate. Notes of black tea, lemongrass and menthol.
Aftertaste:
The long finish is a continuation of the palate.
Overall:
Notes reminiscent of potpourri, hard candy pick ‘n’ mix and perfume overpower this Spanish gin.
