Whitley Neill Parma Violet Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

TW Kempton is a relatively cheap alcohol brand that is only sold at some places. But don’t get fooled by this. Their drinks are actually quite good, especially for these prices! When the time is up, take your sterilised bottle and using a funnel with some muslin or a coffee filter in it; strain the gin into the bottle. I found that it was best if I strained it twice, replacing the muslin with a new piece after the first straining. Doing this resulted in a clearer gin but didn’t seem to change the flavour much.

Other gins might make use of more unique botanicals like ginger for example which will create a different flavor pallet compared to a more standard gin. Zymurgorium prides itself on experimenting with flavors and striving for great new tastes in all sorts of drinks and food products. These products range from cheeses to syrups, to crafty beers and gins. The Artful Pour is a more expensive premium gin brand with a lot of great quality gins. They distill gins like English rhubarb pink grapefruit to passion fruit which are all based on their Yorkshire dry gin.Another thing that makes Whitley Neill stand out from most flavored gins is that all their gins have an ABV of 43%. This means that all of their spirits are still mostly focused on creating a gin instead of just a sweetened drink with a bit of alcohol in it.

Aside from pink and blood orange gins, a new kind of gin called violet gin has been popping up more and more at different brands over the past few years. Their base gin, the Yorkshire dry gin, contains hints of sweet orange and floral lavender alongside a spicy, piney juniper. These notes translate very well to their violet gin. Staffordshire started out crafting their Staffordshire Original gin in a little mining village for two years. Since then they have relocated and expanded their distillery. Aside from creating great popular (flavored) gins, McQueen aspires to bring as many true innovations to as many gin lovers as possible. McQueen started out in the gin scene with 4 world-first flavors.

Even though all violet gins contain the violet flower, there’s a ton of variety in taste pallets between violet gins from different brands. The only thing they have to keep in mind is that the predominant flavor in a gin has to come from the juniper berry (if you want to know why that is, we explain that in this article). The perfect serve for this gin would be to add tonic water and ice and garnish with a violet flower. This gin would also work amazing in a spritz if paired with prosecco. Artful Pour Violet Gin
