Whitley Neill Parma Violet Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Totally rubbish, the gin as no taste, not even right colour, don't be fooled the glass bottle is the right colour, clear as water and taste to match. The blend of botanicals used for their gins consists of juniper, coriander, orris root, angelica, orange peel, licorice, and a few others.

Their popularity has been rising steadily and so the popularity of violet gins has been increasing a lot as well. Even though the violet gin is a bit sweeter due to the added violets combined with orange and lavender, you still get that great gin-specific piney juniper taste with this gin. Once the bottle is filled, put the lid on, label it if you want and give it to your favourite gin lover. We recommend that you always check the packaging for allergen advice and talk to your doctor if you need any further food allergy advice.I found that it was best if I strained it twice, replacing the muslin with a new piece after the first straining. If you liked the look of this recipe, you might also like to try baking these Parma Violet Shortbread Biscuits. The combination of these botanicals creates a sweet, but also a lot more spicy gin due to the black cardamom and black pepper. 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.

And with their vast experience in making flavored gins, they were able to create a drink that is pretty well received by the public.If your unsure just go to Wetherspoons and have one of there's, that's how they should taste and look. After your two weeks is up, strain the contents of the jar into a jug, using a doubled up muslin cloth. The Whitley family used to patrol through their gardens while looking for the best and newest flavors to use in their spirits. Their Original gin is infused with black pepper, lemon, green cardamom, and bay leaves among other botanicals.

This gin uses a blend of eight botanicals a few of which are, juniper berries, angelica root, coriander, licorice, and of course violet. They distill gins like English rhubarb pink grapefruit to passion fruit which are all based on their Yorkshire dry gin. first I tried gin neat, then over ice, you do get a good strength from gin but sadly violet is very faint.

The base recipe is slightly altered so the flavor pallet balances well with the floral flavors from violet.
