Cotswolds Baharat Exotic Gin (500ml)

Baharat means “blend of spices”. Using a juniper and coriander foundation, the Cotswolds team add cardamom, cumin, clove, cinnamon, black pepper, chilli and a hint of Jaffa orange. The result takes your taste buds on a journey through the Middle East and Asia.

Tasting notes: Clear. The bouquet is heavy on Indian spices – from cumin to cardamom to clove and coriander seed; liquorice root and menthol notes add freshness. Spiced-up but finely tuned attack with sweeter notes of clove and cardamom over juniper and coriander. Ends with a flourish of chilli/cinnamon heat. Contemporary, but still tastes like gin. Try it with tonic or soda. 46% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Lots of aromatic cardamom and a hint of cumin up front. Palate: Rounded and warming, with sweet orange and lots more spice, and a gentle hint of chilli on the finish.
