The Product
The London Dry of the Martin Miller’s distillery is like all their gins, the outcome of a maniacal attention of the entire production process. First of all the botanicals are selected on a quality first basis, not solely on regional provenance
As far as the distillation is concerned, the distillery uses a copper pot still which dates back to 1898. A particularly large pot which allows to guarantee a constant quality. Then, both the head and the tail of the distillate are eliminated and only the “heart” is used, that is the part of clear and pure distillate, rich in ethyl alcohol and delicious aromatic volatiles, but lacking unwanted impurities. Finally, another very important factor, the water used for distillation, comes directly from the glaciers of Iceland.
In the glass it is limpid and crystalline. The aroma is delicate with pleasant citrus notes that leave room for a spicy finish, with a nice peppery cent. Elegant on the palate, with a perfect match between aromas and flavor.
Tasting
Perfect to drink straight but also in cocktails. Try it with a pice of dark chocolate. We recommend the 72% Dark Chocolate by Valentinis
