Tasting Notes

Nose

Juniper and savoury — soft sea salinity, the Grand Banks dulse adding maritime character, coastal and inviting

Palate

Classic juniper and savoury — soft salinity floating through, the seaweed's brininess balanced by sweetness, earthy juniper depth, slightly bitter spice adding complexity, coastal sweet notes, the chef-turned-distiller's palate evident

Finish

Liquorice and salinity — the Grand Banks leaving their mark, a little light but good flavours, well-made and maritime

First Impressions

The Newfoundland Distillery Co. uses dulse seaweed harvested from the Grand Banks alongside local juniper and savoury from a nearby farm. The master distiller is a former chef. Double Gold at San Francisco 2018.

Tasting

Dulse seaweed, juniper, and savoury. Salty juniper nose. Briny palate with balanced sweetness. Liquorice and salt finish.

The Bottom Line

Newfoundland Seaweed earns an 8 — the Grand Banks dulse creates genuine Atlantic terroir. Double Gold at San Francisco from a chef-turned-distiller. At £35, Canada's maritime gin.
