Persie Zesty Citrus Gin
Details
Our Scottish Gin shelves are expanding all the time, another new addition to the shelf - Persie Zesty Citrus Gin.
The result is Persie Gin: three distinct styles of aromatic gin created and distilled in the former Persie Hotel at the foot of Glenshee in Perthshire.
Hand-made in small batches in a bespoke, 230-litre copper pot still, the gin is distilled with pure glen water from the local hills. Each gin uses carefully chosen botanicals to evoke an emotive and comforting scent: sharp citrus for the fruity gin; fresh herbs for the savoury gin; and almonds and vanilla pods for the sweet gin.
Nose - An explosion of limes and blood oranges with piny notes.
Mix it - Crack open a bottle of naturally light tonic and pour it in. We like it 50/50. Or for something lighter, try a splash of sparkling water instead.
Glug it - Sharp citrus cut-through with a long, zingy finish.
Work it - Bring out the key botanicals with a little torn mint and a thumbnail of lime peel.
