Roots Marlborough Navy Gin

The Roots Norwester Navy Strength Dry Gin is a bold and robust gin from Elemental Distillers in Marlborough, New Zealand. Bottled at 54.5% ABV, this gin is inspired by the strong Norwest winds and the rugged Pacific coastline. It offers a classic juniper-forward profile with added complexity from organic, locally sourced botanicals.

Nose: The aroma features vibrant juniper notes intertwined with fresh citrus from grapefruit zest, balanced by an earthy undertone from kawakawa berries and gorse flower.

Palate: The palate is crisp and powerful, with a prominent juniper presence supported by a clean spice character. Subtle salinity from the Akaroa giant kelp adds an interesting depth, while hints of nuttiness from hemp seeds and coriander provide a well-rounded flavour profile.

Finish: The finish is long and warming, with a delicate balance of salty and nutty flavours lingering alongside the spice, reflecting the gin's maritime inspiration.

This Navy Strength gin is ideal for classic cocktails like a bold G&T or a Negroni, offering a robust foundation for mixing. Its higher proof and carefully curated botanicals create a complex yet balanced experience for gin enthusiasts
