Hops, a core ingredient of beer, meet Eden Mill's distillery’s gin and the result is a zesty citrus and apricot aroma. Strong, at 46% abv, with a thick, heavy, rich finish when served as a Gin & Tonic. Because of a balance between floral, coriander and light hoppy notes, a soft tropical fruit follows with an undercurrent of juniper. Whether or not you are a gin connoisseur, this is truly a gin to savour. This leaves smooth, hoppy and fresh apricot notes balanced with a refreshing crisp bitterness. In essence, Hop gin leaves a ‘well rounded’ mouth feel that gently fades with a light hoppy character.
