McQueen and the Violet Fog Gin

McQueen and the Violet Fog Gin is a distinctive, full-flavoured spirit distilled in the scenic hills of Jundiaí, Brazil, beautifully blending an extraordinary array of 21 botanicals with a smooth, ultra-velvety style: on the nose it shows a complex, aromatic revelation of fresh lemongrass, basil, and jasmine upfront, layered with earthy forest floor characters, Mediterranean fennel seed, and the citrusy vibrancy of calamansi; the palate is light-to-medium-bodied, cool, and remarkably well-balanced, with flavours of zesty citrus, herbaceous rosemary, and a hint of peppery spice supported by a subtle berry sweetness from Brazilian açaí and warming star anise, while its satiny texture and a clean, vibrant character keep it exceptionally smooth and intriguing; the finish is remarkably long, dry, and clean, lingering on notes of juniper, orange zest, and a touch of licorice spice, making it a perfect pairing for fresh sushi, grilled seafood, or creamy goat cheese.
