Canaïma gin is produced in Venezuela by a shocking maker: the distillers of Ron Diplomático. Made with 19 handpicked botanicals, six of that are native to the Amazonian rain forest (cashew (merey), acai, uva de palma, tupiro, seje, and copoazu), every is claimed to be individually distilled to make this distinctive gin. Conventional gin botanicals make up the rest of the expertise, however particulars are scarce.
Able to dig right into a gin that’s “Born within the Amazon”? Right here we go.
A surprisingly aggressive gin, the nostril presents a slick layer of forest ground earlier than providing heavy notes of lime leaf, pink pepper, and Thai basil. The palate is sharp and somewhat off-kilter, peppery and a bit boozy, although natural parts and a few sweetness come into focus with time in glass. Decidedly brief on the juniper entrance, the gin as an alternative presents some gentle fruit notes in its stead, showcasing white pepper and brown sugar on the lingering end. Whereas considerably scattered, the assorted flavors do at the least work effectively collectively, particularly in additional fruit-driven cocktails, although the stamp of a rum producer is clearly felt right here, diverging from a conventional gin expertise.
