Blind Tiger Gin
Details
During the Prohibition Era, speakeasy establishments circumvented the strict liquor laws by selling tickets to see a blind tiger in the back room, and throwing in a complimentary gin cocktail. Deluxe Distillery celebrates the creativity of yesteryear with this contemporary, raw, unique, and handcrafted Blind Tiger Gin.
Distilled in small batches in the back room of a concealed distillery in the Western part of Belgium, unusual botanicals such as malted barley and cubeb pepper are used to give Blind Tiger Gin its daring and invigorating character.
Tasting notes..
The higher than average alcohol content carries bags of juniper and cubeb pepper which lingers on with zesty hints of cracked black pepper, violet, orange and liquorice.
The waft of celeriac from the blinded botanical in the nose gives way to herbal and floral notes of orange blossom and some citrus on the first sip.
The palate is complex with a peppery kick and the malted barley introduces a long and warming aftertaste with some more cracked pepper and cubeb and earthy notes of ginger, liquorice & cardamom.
A unique gin - Blind Tiger Gin.
