The Bay of Fundy — “one of many 7 wonders of North America” — will be discovered between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Its namesake gin is made in Nova Scotia, double distilled from corn and proofed with native water over native seaside stones, then re-distilled a 3rd time with eight regionally sourced botanicals. These aren’t formally enumerated, save for juniper, lemon peel, and sun-dried dulse (a crimson sea algae). $1 from every bottle bought goes to the Whale Sanctuary Mission.
By no means thoughts the ocean spray and the whales breaching, it is a sharp and juniper-forward gin that, on first blush, may very well be simply mistaken for the standard London dry. Closely natural on the nostril, there’s a considerable angelica-like earthiness that washes over the expertise to enrich the juniper. It’s actually enduring, however whether or not that’s resulting from a ton of earthy botanicals or all that Fundy stone is unclear. It’s all very simple, with any extra botanicals saved in verify, a minimum of till you dig into the palate. Right here some notes of bitter citrus peel and a salty seaweed character grow to be extra evident. A semisweet, greenery-laden observe endures on the end, recalling notes of licorice root, extra juniper, and a curious darkish chocolate observe.
It’s a curiosity and a advantageous mixer, however the whales are getting the very best finish of the deal.
80 proof. Reviewed: Batch #046.
