As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the opportunity to try a wide range of gins. And I must say, once I discovered Inverroche gins, I have never gone back to any other brand. Inverroche offers a range of three exquisite gins – Classic, Verdant, and Amber – each with its own unique flavor profile and characteristics. But if I were to choose the best among them, I would have to say that the Classic is my absolute favorite, with the Verdant coming in a close second.
The Inverroche Classic gin is a true masterpiece. It is crafted using a blend of 20 hand-selected botanicals, including fynbos sourced from the coastal mountains of the Cape Floral Kingdom in South Africa. The result is a gin that is incredibly smooth, with a delicate balance of floral and citrus notes. The Classic gin has a refreshing taste that is perfect for sipping neat or enjoying in a classic gin and tonic. Its versatility makes it a staple in my home bar, as it pairs well with a variety of mixers and cocktails.
On the other hand, the Inverroche Verdant gin offers a more herbaceous and aromatic experience. It is made using a unique combination of botanicals, including wild-growing indigenous herbs and fynbos from the mountainside. The Verdant gin has a distinctive green hue, which is a visual representation of the vibrant flavors it possesses. The taste is complex, with hints of juniper, citrus, and earthy undertones. I find this gin particularly enjoyable when mixed in a martini or a botanical-forward cocktail.
Now, let me tell you about my personal experience with Inverroche. Last year, I had the pleasure of taking part in their gin tasting tour. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn about the art of making gin and to sample their entire range. The tour was led by their knowledgeable and passionate team, who guided us through the botanicals, distillation process, and the unique characteristics of each gin. It was a truly immersive experience, and it deepened my appreciation for Inverroche and their dedication to crafting exceptional gins.
When it comes to choosing the best Inverroche gin, it ultimately comes down to personal preference. However, I highly recommend trying the Classic and Verdant gins as they showcase the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that Inverroche is known for. Whether you prefer the smooth and balanced flavors of the Classic or the herbaceous complexity of the Verdant, I am confident that you will be impressed by the depth and uniqueness of Inverroche gins. So go ahead, treat yourself to a bottle and embark on a journey of gin exploration like no other.
