Deaths Door Gin

Type : Gin
ABV : 94
Producer : Death's Door Spirits
Country : United States
Size : 750ml
Description :

Death's Door Gin has a surprisingly simple botanical mix of organic juniper berries, coriander and fennel which showcases how complimentary and complex simple expressions can be.

Nose: Aromas of creamy vanilla toffee followed by peppery spice and fresh juniper and anise. Palate: A big, peppery juniper hit with notes of wood resin, citrus and spice carried on the soft, creamy spirit. Finish: Long with a cooling anise character.

Unusually, Death's Door Spirits make their own base spirit for their gin, from a recipe of 60% wheat grown on Washington Island, Wisconsin and 40% malted barley from Chilton, Wisconsin. This lends a touch of vanilla/toffee to the nose and a soft, creamy sweetness to the gin.

Death's Door Gin has a full London Dry flavour without all of the bitterness because of the distillation process and the grains that are used. In fact, you can taste all three botanicals: loaded juniper berries up front; spicy, citrusy notes from the coriander seeds in the mid-palate; and a soft, cooling finish provided by the fennel seeds.

Bottled at 47% abv, Death's Door Gin is big enough to stand up to mixing and makes a phenomenal dry martini (try a dash of orange bitters and an orange zest garnish). Great as a base for classic or vintage cocktail treatment, but soft enough to be enjoyed on the rocks or as a Gin & Tonic with either an orange slice and mint sprig or just a star anise if you enjoy the fennel/anise character.
