A striking and luxurious gin, Saffron Gin offers a unique and aromatic experience, with the vibrant infusion of saffron adding complexity, depth, and a beautiful golden hue. This gin is a perfect marriage of traditional gin botanicals and the exotic, aromatic richness of saffron, creating a spirit that is both elegant and exotic.
Appearance:
A radiant golden hue, with a rich, almost amber glow that reflects the infusion of saffron. The gin’s color gives a visual hint of its complexity and flavor depth.
Aroma:
Warm and inviting, with the unmistakable earthy, floral notes of saffron at the forefront, complemented by a delicate bouquet of citrus zest (lemon and orange) and juniper. Underneath, hints of spices, including coriander and angelica root, add depth, while soft floral undertones (such as lavender and rose) bring a touch of elegance.
Palate:
Smooth and full-bodied, with the saffron’s rich and slightly sweet notes enveloping the palate, balanced by the bright, zesty citrus. The juniper remains present but subtle, supporting the complexity of saffron and spices. As it develops, floral notes emerge, adding further layers of depth and refinement. The spice of coriander and a light, peppery finish give the gin a well-rounded and intriguing character.
Finish:
Long and lingering, with the saffron providing a distinct, warm, and floral aftertaste. Citrus and spice round out the finish, leaving a clean yet slightly sweet aftertaste that invites another sip.
Best Served:
Classic G&T: Pair with a premium tonic and garnish with a thin slice of lemon or orange and a sprig of rosemary for an aromatic touch.
Saffron Martini: Stir with a dry vermouth and a twist of lemon or a few saffron strands for a sophisticated twist on a classic martini.
Saffron & Citrus Fizz: Mix with soda water and a splash of fresh lime juice for a light, refreshing long drink.
On the Rocks: Enjoy neat or over ice to appreciate its unique depth and aromatic profile.
