Daffy's Gin
Details
Daffy is the Goddess of Gin. First written about in the 1700s, Daffy is the essence of great gin, a lover of life who has transcended the decades.
Daffy, as painted by Robert McGinnis is the visualisation and personification of the taste, charm, sophistication, complexity and depty of Daffy's Gin.
Daffy's is a gin like no other, created from the finest French grain spirit, distilled on an ancient copper pot whisky still with Lebanese mint and the finest botanicals to create a gin that is classic, complex, perfectly balanced and fresh with a world of intrigue.
Daffy's Gin has been crafted to be enjoyed straight over ice like the finest of malt whiskies, to make the ultimate D&T, the very best of Negroni and other great cocktails.
Direct from Daffy's Gin on the strength:
"Well you may ask, many gins bottle at 37.5%, many at 40% and many much stronger. For us and our gin 43.4% is the perfect balance of strength and flavour. Any stronger and the spirit becomes punchier, a little more closed and with a burn that breaks the concentration. Any weaker and the balance and complexity becomes too diluted and the heart of the gin becomes less strong. That is why 43.4%.
At 43.4% Daffy's complexity is as perfectly balanced. Strong bodied with many levels of well balanced freshness, notes of citrus and mint, toffee, caramel and chocolate underpinned with a solid woody character like that of malt whisky. When enjoyed straight Daffy's is a well rounded and smooth gin with a long finish."
