Martin Miller's Westbourne Strength 70cl.

 PRODUCTION

Martin Miller's Gin makes its gins in England using pure water from snow that fell on Iceland’s glaciers more than 800 years ago and a balanced, carefully selected set of botanicals, chosen for their quality wherever they are found, not for their origin. The largest juniper berries are hand-selected, those richest in oils and aromas. Coriander enriches the distinctive aroma of ginger, sage, and lemon, while angelica imparts notes of dry wood. Licorice and cassia root add sweetness and spicy aromas in equal measure, and lime peel contributes an extra freshness. Finally, enveloping everything, there is aromatic and floral Florentine iris. Citrus and earthy botanicals are distilled separately, keeping only the heart of both distillates. In this way, a more balanced and smooth flavor is obtained in which juniper remains dominant, but also allows the freshness of citrus to shine. The final distillate is blended with a water unlike any other, so pure that it requires no treatment or demineralization, giving the brand its famous aroma and smoothness on the palate.
