So glad you liked the video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 And yes, sounds like a good plan - all of a sudden it is gone and then you would HATE yourself for not getting those extra bottles… believe me - I have experienced that too many times 😜 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻👍🏼
picked up a bottle awhile ago & just opened it as i was waiting for the right moment to taste it. hence it’s slowly ageing as well but it’s really good! 10/10 for me😋 i would love to make my own cocktail recipes with any version of hendricks gin
Totally agree - it’s a really good gin 👍🏼 Get creative- would love to hear your favorite recipe. Hendricks has a few suggestions on their homepage but I would love to hear your ideas. Enjoy - and thanks for watching 😊👍🏼
Totally agree! Both of them are really good - love when the distillers play with icons and give it a twist! Where are you located? …and thanks for watching 😊🙏🏻
@@jondotdrinks6952 Funny - I just looked at a bottle of Ungava a couple of hours ago at the airport and was considering buying it as I have never tried it… I love that gin has become so popular around the world and that so many local botanicals are being used… Hope to see you back on my channel!
I was recently introduced to gin with The Botanist. I found it has a really lovely silky mouth feel I haven’t encountered with other spirits. I have since tried several other bottles and haven’t really found an equivalent in the mouth feel (with a dry martini or extra dry, or neat). Is there anything you’ve found that has a nice oily/silky/velvety mouth feel? My most recent bottles have been: The Botanist, Roku, Nikka Coffey, Uncle Val’s, Principe De Los Apostles Mate, and a few local Gins. Just to give you an idea.
I will add a second question here as well. For someone just starting their gin journey, are there one to three bottles you would point me towards to try next? The only thing I’ve tried so far I didn’t like is Bombay Sapphire
The Botanist… now, there is a cool gin - simply love it. 🤩🤩🤩 There are several botanicals that will add to this silkiness - almonds, macadamia, licorice root, just to name some. Some base spirits (like potatoes) are said to add a slightly creamy feel as well. So, a combination of things can make a very velvety result. Temperature has a lot to say - as the temperature drops, the viscosity (or the thickness) of the liquid increases, improving the texture of the gin. You might loose/change some flavors (compared to the gin being at room temperature) but if you do this with a high proof gin or a very juniper heavy gin, it doesn’t feel like it looses flavors. If you haven’t tried this you really should - it is such a cool way to try your gin neat. I’ll try to think if I can come up with some gins with this silky texture to it… 👍🏼 And cool gins you have bought- especially Nikka Coffey is one of my favorite gins. I have a video review of that if you are interested.
@@josephstark4944 Uhh… that’s a though one… taste is SO individual. But I would say that if you want to explore the world of gin, take it to some of the “edges” of what gin is… try a Navy Strength (57-58% ABV) like Tarquin’s Seadog Navy Strength or Ki No Bi Sei - try a juniper centric gin like Moor’s gin (only juniper in it) or one of the gins from Never Never Distilling Co - try a floral gin like G’Vine Floraison (very little juniper berry) - try a sloe gin… There is SO much to try!!! Three of my favorite distilleries to look at are distilleries like Four Pillars, Cambridge Distillery and Kyoto Distillery (Ki No Bi) Hope this was just a little helpful!!! 😊
It is not as vivid as I expected and Coastal botanicals are not exposed enough but still it is really smooth, delicate gin. Cheers!
You really know your history!, love it, thanks, I’m really enjoying the Neptunia Gin definitely getting couple more bottles before its gone
