Rather than begin this overview with a witty Dorothy Parker quote on consuming, Iām going to chop straight to the chase and say that The New York Distilling Firm has introduced again its Dorothy Parker Rose Petal Gin for one more season of gleeful warm-weather tippling.
As with previous editions of the seasonal launch, the gin achieves its rosy hue through an infusion of pink and pink rose petals and crushed elderberries, the latter of which moonlights as one of many ginās eight botanicals. The opposite seven botanicals that make up its bouquet are juniper berries, coriander, hibiscus petals, inexperienced cardamom pods, cinnamon bark, lemon peel, and orange peel.
Its nostril is spicy, sturdy, and candy, with a floral undercurrent that remembers rose petals and honeysuckle. Itās gentle and creamy on the palate with a sure malty, floral sweetness that introduced genever to thoughts. But itās hooked to an undertow of spice that works itself up till it pops on the finish, coming off with a snap of juniper slightly than a bellow. The end is robust and lingering with notes of rose petals beside the spice.
Dorothy Parker Rose Petal Gin performs admirably in a Gin and Tonic, which actually serves to focus on its floral features. This got here as a pleasing shock, as Iād thought that the ginās softness would possibly go away it limp and buried under the tonic, but it surely nonetheless shined by means of. In sum, a extremely refreshing selection for a G&T that also possesses a particular presence and physique.Ā
