G vine Gin from France a gin made with grapes...and juniper berries and botanicals. Two types..Floraison and Nouaison
Floraison has more botanicals and less alcohol. not a lot of heat almost sweet which is why it works well with specialty cocktails.
Nouaison more juniper but less of the other botanicals.. to me I get the cucumber element.. a touch hotter on the palate given the higher alcohol not surprising.. a better martini standing alone gin.. also with grapes from the cognac region of france..ugni blanc and french colombard
Excellia Tequila that comes in three styles
Blanco aged for a few weeks in Sauternes and cognac barrels.. smoky with a earthy springloam aromas.. not hot at all very balanced. a little black pepper on the finish
Reposado.. aged 8 months in the barrels mentioned above.. white pepper, incensce like when I was an altar boy... spicy like jalapenios but not hot on the tongue... a little medicinal on the finish.
Anejo aged for 16 to 18 months in the barrels. soft incense bottor on the palate.. a little more clunky... i think I enjoyed the repo more.
The Bitter Truth Sloeberry Gin what the original sloegin must have tasted like.. bitter first flavors but smooths out to a lightly sweet finish... more gin than sloe...
