Boatyard Double Gin Description ...
The Double Gin is distilled by The Boatyard Distillery, located near the picturesque Lower Lough Erne – Enniskillen. The Distillery is one of a few in Ireland, able to produce their own base spirit, fermented from organic malted wheat and Champagne yeast, over a period of five days, using their very own Dutch made Column Still. The Botanicals used within the distillation are all organically grown, with the exception of the Sweet gale which is grown at the family farm. The traditional Dutch method of gin distillation is used for first contact with the Juniper, allowing maceration for 24 hours before the final Pot distillation. After the distillation the resulting Gin is cut with purified water and allowed to pair for 2 weeks prior to being bottled.
Tasting Note from Fairley's Wines ...
Nose - "The nose opens with an array of citrus cream, combined with juniper, mixed herbs and somewhat sweet scented."
Palate - "Disciplined framework, with creamy lemon and lime, integrated rose and lavender, with a hint of liquorice, finishing with underlying angelica root, locked in with a little spice and even more mouth-filling citrus."
Boatyard Gin - Chilled glass filled with ice and add a slice of orange / 1 parts Boatyard Double Gin / top up with Poachers Orange and Rosemary tonic and more ice.
