Makes a fantastic Gin and Tonic. Made with Fever Tree Light Tonic and garnished with a lemon wedge. The bold juniper clearly evident on the nose soundly shines through on the palate with the spicy Szechuan pepper influence showing itself on the finish, and expressing a touch of lemon juice and lemon oils from the peel on the surface of the tonic and then rubbed on the glass rim provides a lovely counterbalance of sweetness. This would also excel in a Martini (or better yet a Gibson) if you like your juniper to stand out -- stir it neat and serve up with a lemon twist; and it should stand up nicely in a Negroni (with the spicy pepper influence added to the bold juniper kicking things up to an "11" -- see Spinal Tap movie reference). Outstanding!

Es un gin diferente, tan solo en la graduación alcohólica, que pasa los 57% grados, además no es tan frutal, aromático, cítrico o especiado como la mayoría de ginebras, eso sí, es picante, un picor rico dominado por la pimienta Szechuan, Muy rico, delicioso y para combinar con la mejor agua tónica o para unos excelentes cocteles, en mi caso con el bramble va genial. It is a different gin, only in the alcohol content, which passes 57% degrees, it is not as fruity, aromatic, citrus or spicy as most gins, yes, it is spicy, a rich spiciness dominated by Szechuan pepper, Very rich, delicious and to combine with the best tonic water or for excellent cocktails, in my case with the bramble goes great.
