Sikkim Fraise Premium Gin

Sikkim Fraise comes from Sibbaris Privee in Spain and starts somewhere unusual: a gin built on red tea grown in Sikkim, high in the Himalayan foothills. Onto that tea-tinged base go ripe strawberries and floral nuances, giving the spirit its delicate rose colour and a fruit-forward character that still keeps classic juniper in view.

The nose is all fresh strawberry, with floral lift and a faintly spicy juniper note. The palate is soft and harmonious, intense strawberry fruit folded around subtle herbal and citrus tones, finishing long, mild and gently sweet. At 40% it was made for a summer G&T with a light or floral tonic and a fresh strawberry to garnish.
