Very clear on the palate, juniper forward, with predominant herbal flavours of fennel and anise. I almost get why they named it snowdrop - its clarity and light body remind me of snowflakes. Quite attractive with this flavour profile and should go well with some slightly stronger tonic. It might also be interesting with a dirty martini. I had it with sparkling water which helps in appreciating the herbal flavours but does not complement much.
Snowdrop Gin
About this bottle
Saxtons River Distillery in Brattleboro, Vermont produces this vacuum-distilled American dry gin made from 100% neutral grain spirit. This method of steeping the botanicals does so at a lower atmospheric pressure, resulting in a much lower boiling point during distillation, and allows the spirit to retain more delicate notes and flavors. The botanical lineup is comprised of: coriander, juniper, thyme, star anise, cocoa, orris root, cardamom, sarsaparilla root, rosemary, allspice, fennel seed, grains of paradise, orange peel, Damiana leaf, caraway seed, anise seed, and ginger. It is bottled at 44.5% ABV.
