We beforehand tried the mezcal from Gracias a Dios in addition to a mezcal distilled with pineapple and its uncommon gin, which is made utilizing its mezcal as the bottom spirit. At this time we strive Gracias a Dios’s Oaxaca Recipe gin, which can also be made by infusing mezcal with botanicals, however on this case, solely eight. The total listing isn’t obtainable, however they’re all drawn from the Oaxaca area of Mexico and embrace juniper together with avocado leaf, yerba santa, cacao, and tangerine. Let’s give it a strive.
The nostril is massive and vivid, and it boldly reveals the wedding of the gin’s base spirit and botanicals. Assertive notes of candy agave and herbaceous inexperienced pepper be part of with mild pine and fruity peach. Behind these notes hides only a contact of smoke. The palate follows go well with and is extra advanced. The candy agave observe comes first and is rapidly joined by an enormous, black pepper chunk. The agave observe holds on because the pepper recedes and is changed by inexperienced pepper, peach, and cocoa. Smoke once more lingers within the background. The end is lengthy and pleasing because the natural notes, smoke, and cocoa slowly fade. I’m impressed. I wouldn’t have anticipated mezcal and gin botanicals to return collectively so nicely, however on this product they mix to make a cohesive and pleasing entire. I attempted it in a G&T, and the mezcal base didn’t play nicely with the tonic. That is finest sipped straight, and for individuals who like each gin and mezcal, it’s actually value attempting.
