Schouten Clarity No.1 London Dry Gin

"De mooiste momenten in het leven zijn momenten van verbinding. Die verbinding kan ontstaan door een verhaal met elkaar te delen of er samen één te creëren. Cheers!" - Joyce en Erwin Schouten

"The most beautiful moments in life are moments of connection. That connection can be created by sharing a story with each other or create one together. Cheers!"

When initially starting work on creating the distillery (which is based in Veghel, North Brabant), they had a moment of clarity. This was when the plans and ideas for their distillery came together. "We're going to make booze that we'd love to share with our friends.". This moment of clarity gave their first gin, a London Dry its name.

This is a gin which is packed full of flavour, and very powerful. Certainly not for everyone, but if you're a fan of full on flavours and a drink which truly packs a flavourful punch then this is one for you. The botanicals they use are juniper berries, coriander, cardamom, orris root, angelica root, hibiscus, cinnamon, clove, maniguette, pepper, orange, lemon, ginger

The nose and palate of this gin certainly complement each other well, and there is an excellent balance between its aroma and taste. It starts with floral notes, as well as the classic pine of juniper. These transition into a warm earthy spice and a hint of sweetness. The finish is spicy and perfectly dry.

Perfect Serve

We love this as a classic gin & tonic. It has strong flavours of its own, so whilst it would stand up to a flavoured tonic - we like it neutral, and allow the gin to 'speak'.

Take a large glass filled with ice and add 50ml of the gin. Gently pour over 150 - 200ml of your chosen tonic and stir gently. Garnish with a thin slice of orange.
