The Product
Hammer & Son’s London Dry Gin “Geranium” can almost be called a chemical experiment. In fact, Henrick Hammer, the owner of the distillery, thanks to the help of his father who was a chemist, studied the leaves and essential oils of the geranium and decided to add them to juniper (the basic ingredient of all gin). After several attempts and a lot of obstinacy the mythical “Geranium 55 °” was born. Produced with 10 different herbs (including geranium) combined in a mixture of wheat alcohol and subsequently distilled.
Transparent (without color) in the glass, the aroma is very elegant with light notes of spices that mix with the geranium scent that remains constant. Velvety and strong on the palate with an excellent body and a long long persistence.
One of a kind, excellent straight, it is absolutely fantastic in quality cocktails.
