Description

Rick Feel Dry Gin 41% ABV 0.5l

Rick Feel Gin is a handcrafted London Dry Gin from Vienna that combines a distinctively Mediterranean style with the high quality standards of the Austrian brand Rick Gin. Organic ingredients are used in its production, with regional sourcing and sustainability being key elements of the brand’s philosophy. Master Distiller Patrick Martinelli is responsible for its development; following numerous experiments, he has created a range of gins with distinct characters. Mediterranean botanicals take centre stage in Rick Feel: rosemary, olive and orange blossom are combined with basil and thyme, giving the recipe its distinctive character. Production is carried out by hand using modern distillation technology. With an alcohol content of 41 per cent, the intensity is deliberately balanced to bring out the interplay between the various herbs and floral components.

Within the Rick Gin range, Rick Feel Mediterranean London Dry Gin thus occupies a clearly defined position. Whilst other expressions of the brand focus more strongly on citrus fruits or juniper, for example, Rick Feel conveys an unmistakably Mediterranean character through its selected botanicals. In particular, the combination of rosemary and thyme with basil, olive and floral orange blossom creates a distinctive profile. At the same time, the production process embodies the brand’s philosophy of crafting premium gin by hand in Vienna, with a special focus on high-quality organic ingredients. The 0.5-litre bottle, at 41 per cent ABV, is therefore ideal for gin lovers seeking a herb-forward, Mediterranean-inspired London Dry Gin produced in Austria.

Tasting Note

Colour: Clear.

Nose: Mediterranean and aromatic, with rosemary, orange blossom and subtle herbal notes of basil and thyme.

Palate: Well-balanced and herb-driven with rosemary, olive, basil and thyme, accompanied by floral orange blossom.

Finish: Long-lasting and harmonious with Mediterranean herbs and a delicate floral spice.

Rick Gin is particularly well suited to a Mediterranean-style gin and tonic, whereby a neutral or dry tonic water brings out the herbal character to its best advantage. A small sprig of rosemary or a twist of orange peel makes for an ideal garnish, without unnecessarily overpowering the botanicals. Its Mediterranean character can also be put to good use in a Dry Martini, Gin Basil Smash or Gin & Soda. On the culinary front, Rick Feel pairs well with olives, Mediterranean antipasti, grilled vegetables, fish and mild cheeses, and is particularly well-suited as an aperitif for summer gatherings.
