Agave Spirits+ Journey

Presently, as I wrote about HERE, I’m trying (and succeeding) to get some folks I know to expand their experiences with well-made tequilas and one of them is a gin connoisseur and as quid pro quo I am trying more gins, a spirit that I have very little prior experience with. In the past two weeks, I’ve bought more bottle of gin (3) than I have in two years.

I’ve cracked open four new gin bottes, each of them with completely different aroma and flavor profiles: Malfy con Limone (Sicilian lemon), Malfy Arancia (Sicilian blood orange), Tarquin’s Blood Orange Cornish Gin, and The Botanist 22 Islay Dry Gin – the latter two I’m liking quite a lot so far.

Trying out new spirits and keeping an open mind is both educational and fun. The flavor profiles on gins are completely new to me and it’s an invigorating challenge to taste through them and try to think of what vocabulary is appropriate to describe what I’m smelling and tasting.

Cheers!
