Reisetbauer Blue Gin

Product Information

There is also a light astringency in the air above the glass stemming from the higher than normal alcohol content, and this sharpness combined with the intense floral characteristic of the gin seems to be serving as a warning that the Blue Gin just might be a little more intense and flavourful than I had expected… even for a 47 % abv. The exquisite blue hue, a rarity in nature’s palette, is derived solely from the blossoms of the Blue Pea plant. It is bottled at 47 % alcohol by volume ensuring a more concentrated flavour than more traditional spirits which are bottled at 40 % alcohol by volume.

Our gin is distilled by hand in small batches using pure spring water from our own deep water source combined with fragrant botanicals and fresh citrus fruits. When I add an ice-cube, the strong flavours are muted; but the spiciness of cardamom (tastes like ginger) continues unabated. It is the perfume-like quality of the gin which I do not find nearly so attractive this time around.Comes with a small sachet of Wildflower seeds the encorages the activity of butterflies, bees and other pollinators.

Just add your favourite mixer, observe the pearlescent glow and experience ‘the dance of the botanical oils’. Mermaid Gin is a smooth yet complex blend of fresh organic lemon zest, the peppery notes in grains of paradise and a hint of sea air from fragrant rock samphire. Made with carefully selected botanicals including forget-me-nots, Scottish heather, sage and kaffir lime leaves, this well rounded gin should be served with a premium tonic and garnished with lemon or lime to accentuate the spicy, floral and sweet notes.Sandy runs the business with the help of his family, Christine in the Office, Jackie in production, Graeme producing the beautiful artwork and Bob in the Distillery. What starts out as a blue gin, with the addition of tonic, changes from blue to purple or pink, depending on the pH of the mixer. So why choose between Blue Gin and Parma Violet Gin when you can have both in one convenient bottle?

Our Blue Gin can be combined with tonic water to create a beautiful subtle blue hue or create delicious cocktails which are blue in colour, such as the vibrant Sapphire Martini or the perfectly simple Bluebird.If you have joined us after the exclusive release you’ll receive your bottle within 2-5 working days. There is little burn in the throat followed by what I am going to describe as ‘a perfumed fade’ of juniper, orange peel and balsam.
