The evolution of gin has led to an array of unique flavors while keeping the juniper berry as the key ingredient. Innovative brands are experimenting with diverse botanicals, leading to memorable spirits that can fit into classic cocktails like Martinis and Negronis. Recent examples include Hendrick's new release inspired by a desert trip and a balanced version of a Catskills gin which originally featured too much ramp. Additionally, the introduction of a smoky Mexican sotol-based gin adds complexity to the vibrant market of flavored gins.
The original release of this Catskills, New York spirit was, believe it or not, too rampy. This time around, as a seasonal limited edition, the effect is more balanced but deliciously distinct.
Master Distiller Lesley Gracie's latest Cabinet of Curiosities release is a beverage inspired by a trip to the desert. A lush oasis discovery set the scene for the gin's herbal, citrusy and dry flavor profile that breaks away from the cucumber and rose botanicals.
