Description

Roter Turm is named for a jagged peak in the Lienz Dolomites that towers over the Kuenz family's four-hundred-year-old estate in East Tyrol, and the gin wears that altitude proudly. Thirteen Alpine herbs and hand-picked spices are gathered around a juniper base, with the unusual additions of rowan berries, gentian and masterwort lending a rooty, distinctly mountain character. It is distilled by hand and bottled in small batches at 43%.

The nose carries juniper, Alpine herbs, a flicker of citrus and fine root tones. On the palate it is clearly drawn, the pine of juniper meeting floral nuances, citrus freshness and the bitter-earthy pull of gentian and masterwort; the finish is long, fresh and spicy with a herbal harmony. Build it into a gin and tonic with a quality tonic and a rosemary sprig to draw out its herbal complexity.
