Perfume Trees Gin Alc.45% 50cl
Botanicals:
Juniper, white champaca blossom, Longjing green tea, aged tangerine, Chinese angelica, liquorice, sandalwood, coriander seed, orris root, green cardamom, lemon peel, grapefruit peel and cinnamon.
Out of the 13 botanicals that end up in Perfume Trees, five are sourced or grown in Hong Kong. There is white champaca flowers, whose sweet-vanilla scent got it the nickname of perfume tree. Sandalwood lends a woody profile to the gin’s nose and palate, along with 15-year-old tangerine peel and the herbaceous of Chinese angelica. Long Jing green tea reveals itself in the finish. Together with juniper berries, coriander seeds, green cardamon pods, and orris root, all the botanicals are sent to a distillery in the Netherlands, which puts them through a squarish, hi-tech still. The gin comes in a rectangular glass bottle from France with the ingredients written in Chinese calligraphy and stylised into a tree.
Tasting Notes:
Perfume Trees is smooth and silky enough to be a sipping gin. The nose is fragrant with the floral and herbal aromas of white champaca blossom and sandalwood. Juniper leads on the palate and is joined by the warm citrus notes of tangerine and east Asian herbs. The finish is a long-lasting cacophony of green tea and angelica.
