Fords Gin 90

Fords gin is distilled in london at thames distillers and is a collaboration between 8th generation master distiller charles maxwell and simon ford of the 86 co. The mix of 9 botanicals starts with a traditional backbone base of juniper & coriander seed that’s balanced with citrus (bitter orange lemon & grapefruit peels) floral (jasmine flower & orris) and spice (angelica & cassia). The botanicals are steeped for 15 hours before distillation in 500-liter stills. 45% abv 90 proof tasting notes; nose: juniper coriander and angelica root up front with developing layers of citrus jasmine and hints of vanilla in the back. Very pleasant on the nose bright and aromatic. Mid palate: prominent mid palate presence with juniper oils on the center tongue and full aroma on top palate. Citrus oils excite the side palate beautifully. Under tongue stays dry yet animated. Excellent mid-palate structure to serve as the base for mixing. Dryness: dryness coming fro
