Whitley Neill Parma Violet Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

first I tried gin neat, then over ice, you do get a good strength from gin but sadly violet is very faint. Other gins might make use of more unique botanicals like ginger for example which will create a different flavor pallet compared to a more standard gin. Another difference in flavors between violet gins could come from the different kinds of violets used. The garnish wheel says you can use lemon or lime as your base garnish - but maybe you could jazz it up and add a second garnish: a sprig of mint, or some muddled sage, or a warming touch of star anise?

A few of the botanicals used in their gin are cassia bark, rose petals, orange, ginger, licorice, and almonds. Their Original gin is infused with black pepper, lemon, green cardamom, and bay leaves among other botanicals.Violet gins are a lot less juniper-forward than standard gins and are also without a doubt a lot sweeter than a more basic gin like a London dry gin. If your unsure just go to Wetherspoons and have one of there's, that's how they should taste and look. Zymurgorium prides itself on experimenting with flavors and striving for great new tastes in all sorts of drinks and food products. If you’re not extremely into sweet drinks then mixing it with a neutral tonic is also a great option while the floral violet notes will still be very much present.

Inspired by Italian aromatic flowers, subtle floral notes infuse the gin base for a vibrant and elegant taste.The base recipe is slightly altered so the flavor pallet balances well with the floral flavors from violet. This recipe mixes their Signature London Dry Gin with violet liqueur with a twist of lemon before being topped with lemonade. Infusion with violet flowers creates a very distinguishable scent and flavor and often this infusion also leads to the violet hue that violet gins have. Whenever the filtering slows down empty the liquid in the funnel back into the jar, replace the cotton ball and start the filtering again.
