Gin 7 is a traditional dry style gin that is crafted using a unique vapour distillation process. This method involves passing the alcohol vapour through a botanical basket containing juniper berries and other carefully selected botanicals. The result is a gin that captures the essence of these botanicals and delivers a distinct and complex flavor profile.
One of the standout features of Gin 7 is its base of 100% Ontario rye grain. This choice of grain adds a smooth and velvety texture to the gin, creating a luxurious drinking experience. As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the opportunity to taste and evaluate a wide range of gins, and I must say that the use of rye grain in Gin 7 sets it apart from many others in terms of texture and mouthfeel.
When it comes to the flavor profile, Gin 7 is a true classic. The dominant note of juniper is beautifully complemented by the other botanicals, resulting in a well-balanced and harmonious gin. The vapour distillation process ensures that the flavors are infused delicately, allowing each ingredient to shine through without overpowering the others. This makes Gin 7 an excellent choice for those who appreciate a more traditional and refined gin experience.
I must mention that Gin 7 is particularly renowned for its suitability in creating the perfect Martini. The combination of the distinct flavors and the smooth texture make it an ideal gin for this iconic cocktail. As a sommelier, I have had the pleasure of preparing and serving countless Martinis, and I can confidently say that Gin 7 consistently delivers exceptional results. Its ability to harmonize with vermouth and garnishes while maintaining its own character is truly impressive.
Interestingly, I recently had the opportunity to learn about the history of Gin 7 and its connection to the famous spy, James Bond. It is said that Gin 7 was specifically engineered by Q, the fictional gadget mastermind, to ensure a happier Bond at the Baccarat table. While this may be a playful anecdote, it speaks to the reputation and quality of Gin 7 as a gin that is sophisticated and enjoyable in any setting.
Gin 7 is a traditional dry style gin that is crafted using a unique vapour distillation process. Its base of 100% Ontario rye grain adds a smooth and velvety texture, while the carefully selected botanicals create a well-balanced and harmonious flavor profile. Whether enjoyed in a classic Martini or sipped on its own, Gin 7 is a gin that is sure to impress even the most discerning gin connoisseur.
