No8 Distillery Horopito Gin 250ml 42%”
NZD$30.00
'A pleasant Ambush' - 42% ABV - 700ml.
Four waves: citrus, cardamom, cinnamon, and the piquancy of horopito.
On the nosing you are overwhelmed by a flash-bang of orange, cardamon and a hint of cordite. When tasting, the gin bursts through your bouche, peppering you with sustained, pointed heat that gives way to a body of cardamom and cinnamon. As it walks away from you, the little bugger fires off a Parthian shot of pepper. The finish has a zesty orange citrus and the sweet smell of victory.
