Tasting Notes
Nose
Jammy with literal strawberry jam — strawberry rhubarb pie filling with a hearty dash of ginger, the blue colour promising theatrical transformation
Palate
Warm spicy notes enveloping the palate — raspberry preserves, fresh sugared strawberries and apple pie spice, the Bravo de Esmolfe apple adding Portuguese DOP fruit character, eucalyptus freshness
Finish
Full of fruit — raspberry and strawberry with warming spice, watching the blue transform to pink as tonic water changes the pH
Expert Review
7/10Blue that turns pink with tonic — Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea flower) anthocyanins reacting with pH change. From Portugal's biodiverse Alentejo. Jammy strawberry with ginger warmth and apple pie spice. The magic trick is real, the gin underneath is genuinely fruity and well-crafted.
