Day 6- nGINious Smoked and Salted

Tried writing this blog on the day, but my computer refused to connect to the internet.

This Swiss gin is a wee bit gimicky - with smoked nuts and sea salt added to the botanics. Yet another over-pretentious website (oh for something without flashy pictures!).

This quotation comes from the Master of Malt website because the homepage has everything stored as pictures:

The clever chaps behind nginious! Gin have created a Smoked & Salted variation of their excellent Swiss gin. This features juniper, bitter oranges, quinces, ginger and coriander, as well as cold-smoked chestnuts (which were smoked for 40 hours) and a rare smoked stone salt.

I found the gin quite bitter - and I'm afraid the aftertaste of salt was just weird! Not my favourite, and I won't be recommending this to anyone. Bluergh.

Didn't get back to the office last night - so tonight I'll be reviewing the next two gins - which will hopefully be nicer!

EDIT: Forget the price! £49.95/70cl (£71.36/L) ... pricey!
