Gray Whale Distilled Gin 43% ABV 0.7l online kaufen

Gray Whale Distilled Gin is an exceptional premium gin from California, whose concept is inspired by the gray whale’s annual migration route along the North American Pacific coast. The recipe focuses on six Californian botanicals, which are sustainably sourced or wild-harvested and represent different parts of this coastal landscape. The botanicals used are juniper, lime, mint, almonds, pine needles and kombu seaweed. The base spirit is 100% neutral grain spirit. The deliberately limited selection of botanicals results in a distinctive gin that combines classic juniper notes with citrus freshness, herbs, nutty elements and maritime and woody influences.

The name ‘Gray Whale Gin’ draws on the migration of gray whales along the Pacific coast and links this to the concept of the ingredients’ origins. Particularly unusual is the use of kombu, a seaweed that lends this Californian gin a subtle maritime dimension, whilst fir and juniper establish the connection to the coastal forests. Lime and mint provide freshness, whilst almonds add further depth. With an alcohol content of 43 per cent and a 0.7-litre bottle, Gray Whale Distilled Gin combines Californian origins, artisanal craftsmanship and the ethos of nature and marine conservation into a distinctive gin concept.

Tasting Note

Colour: Clear.

Nose: Fresh juniper and aromatic pine needles meet lime and mint, accompanied by subtle almond notes and a delicate maritime hint.

Palate: Balanced and fresh with juniper, zesty lime and cool mint, complemented by nutty almonds, spicy fir and a subtle mineral-salty kombu note.

Finish: Long-lasting and clean with juniper, fresh citrus, delicate forest notes and a subtle maritime aftertaste.

Gray Whale Distilled Gin is particularly well-suited to a fresh gin and tonic, in which the unusual blend of botanicals remains clearly discernible. To make this, serve 5 cl of gin with a dry, preferably neutral tonic water over plenty of ice, and garnish with a lime zest or a small sprig of mint. The citrus, herbal and maritime notes also come into their own in a Dry Martini, Gimlet or Gin Rickey. When pairing with food, oysters, grilled fish, sushi, seafood or light dishes featuring citrus fruits and fresh herbs complement the Californian maritime profile particularly well.
