Intro:
Distilled from Wisconsin wheat and infused with juniper and locally grown chamomile, rosemary, lemongrass & lavendar, this Wollersheim gin release is an interesting addition to their portfolio of spirits. This is produced to be a botanically balanced style, with a contemporary dry profile. Let's dive in.
-
Nose:
Bright, powerful, fruity and laced with grape and lavender. Effervescent, certainly unique, with plenty going on. Juniper takes a backseat to the fruit here.
-
Taste:
Sweet, unmistakably fruity. Lots of sweetness, almost drinks like an eau de vie more than a gin. The juniper is hard to track down, if it can be found at all.
-
Finish:
Long finish, rich with fruit character, juniper (right on cue) and tons of grape, pepper and lavender.
-
Overall:
Wow - this is certainly wild and unique. I think I'd have to like grape a lot more than I do to fall in love with this bottling, but it's certainly well made with plenty of character. Works exceptionally well in citrus forward cocktails - and I'd avoid a martini if it crosses your mind.
