Tasting Notes

Nose

Botanical sweetness — fruits and herbs, oak-y juniper, complex yet not overwhelming

Palate

Fruit and herb sweetness — black grape richness, cassia and ginger warmth, juniper providing backbone, silky smooth, the colour-change adding visual theatre to genuine flavour

Finish

Smooth and warm — the winter gin base providing spiced depth, black grape sweetness fading, long

First Impressions

Blushing Monkey from The Gin Kitchen blends their Gutsy Monkey Winter Gin with sweet black grapes. The magic is in the colour: initially translucent, adding tonic transforms it to pearlescent pink. Pour tonic first and add gin for a neon candyfloss cloud. Visual theatre with genuine flavour.

Tasting

Winter gin with black grapes. Botanical sweet nose. Fruity palate with grape, cassia, and ginger. Smooth warm finish.

The Bottom Line

Blushing Monkey earns a 6 — the colour-change is genuinely fun and the winter gin base provides real depth. At £57, premium pricing for the theatre and the taste.
