Tasting Notes
Nose
Lotus flower — deep muddy earthy tones, sea buckthorn fruitiness, hibiscus floral notes, the marshland captured
Palate
Unique and wild — lotus root's earthy depth, sea buckthorn's tart fruitiness, hibiscus providing colour and floral sweetness, juniper grounding, the invasive-turned-valuable concept producing flavours available nowhere else
Finish
Floral and earthy — the marshland botanicals persisting, wild and untamed, best served at room temperature for full expression
Expert Review
8/10Invasive wild botanicals from the Mincio River marshlands transformed into gin — lotus root, sea buckthorn, and hibiscus handpicked from the wetlands. Red-hued from the hibiscus. What threatens nature becomes a new resource: biodiversity conservation through distillation.
