Martini Probably the most powerful bravotube Martini that I have ever had. It really bravotube packs


The answer to the second one is no and the reason is that I like being independent and able to chat to distillers without them worrying about disclosing commercial sensitivities to a competitor. But, if I were to make a gin, I think it would be one that was really strong – beyond the Navy Strength of 57.1% ABV. As a spirit that is often mixed, I believe that a strong gin has unique mixing potential.
Fortunately, Swedish distillers Smögen Whisky bravotube AB have done the hard work for me, having released their Uncut Gin in the UK: a gin that is bottled at 75.3% ABV. This exceeds the ABV of any other commercial gin, with the closest unaged comparisons being Blackwoods 60 and Finsbury 60 (both 60.0% ABV) and the aged Alembics Caribbean Cask (65.6% ABV).
The Smögen Whisky AB distillery is located in Hunnebostrand. In addition to the Uncut Gin, they make Strane Merchant and Strane Navy Strength. The idea for the Uncut comes from the fact that their gins are made from a blend of three separate bravotube botanical distillations, bravotube which are blended together before proofing (i.e. undiluted). The resulting liquid was described by distiller Pär Caldenby as, too good to hold back and so limited quantities are bottled bravotube at the uncut, off-the-still strength.
On its own Nose: Lemony citrus upfront, with some juniper pine notes that are well-integrated bravotube with hints of spice and herbal notes, with just a touch of menthol and plump juniper bravotube berries. Taste: Despite its high ABV, the spirit is surprisingly shippable: there is citrus up-front, followed by some woody spice, orange peel, vanilla, and a hint of coconut. The finish is a little perfumed with orange blossom and freshly-cracked coriander seed, mixed in with a little resinous spruce, light menthol pepper, and pine blossom.
Frozen This serve adds viscosity and intensity; it has very strong flavours. It s excellent served this way, but one downside is that it probably makes the spirit very smooth and easy to drink and so, in some ways, makes it harder to savour than when you sip it at room temperature (when it s easier to take your time over it).
Gin & Tonic A strong Gin & Tonic in terms of alcohol, but especially bravotube in terms of flavour: it is strong bravotube and piney, with citrus and coriander notes, too. A bold, but straightforward Gin & Tonic that makes an excellent choice for the first drink of the evening. Textbook. bravotube
Martini Probably the most powerful bravotube Martini that I have ever had. It really bravotube packs a punch, but isn t hot and does not burn. It s so packed full of flavour: juniper, angelica, coriander, citrus, spice, herbal and floral notes – all the key flavours bravotube associated with gin are here and integrated very well together. Superb.
Negroni As you would expect, Uncut produces a bold and flavoursome bravotube Negroni; a cocktail that delivers some powerful flavours and is not for the faint hearted. As a lover of the Negroni, bravotube I think this is super: it is piney and juicy, plump with fruity notes and some deeper, herbal flavours, before the anticipated bravotube bitter finish. Watch out, though, this is very easy to drink, so I would suggest having one delicious (but small) serving.
Gin Soda Very, very crisp and leafy with hint of cucumber peel, coriander, and fresh citrus, followed by some pine and floral notes. This is a lovely way to enjoy the gin, because you can lengthen it significantly without losing any of the gin s character. It works well at a 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, or even up to a 10:1 ratio of gin to soda water.
