Never Never Juniper Freak Gin / 2019 / 50cl
Never Never Juniper Freak Gin / 2019 / 50cl
The nose is a bright, pine lime splice mingling with fresh pine needles and split gum leaf. The palate is fragrant and drying, with bold juniper making way to peppery menthol and an earthiness. The finish is long and oily, with bags of juniper and citrus oil remaining long after the alcohol evaporates.
A yearly seasonal release, representing the freshest, brightest juniper character directly air-freighted from North Macedonia to Never Never's Mclaren Vale base.
A pure juniper distillate is then collected and blended into a base made from Never Never's triple juniper process (juniper is steepd in the spririt for 24 hours, that juniper is then removed and replaced with fresh juniper prior to distillation and, as if that isn't enough, more juniper is added to the vapour basket).
Bottled at the official navy strength of 58%, this gin is long, complex and viscous.
High levels of clouding occur when mixed, due to massively elevated juniper levels.
