Tasting Notes

Nose

Citrusy grapefruit — the timur pepper's distinctive citrus-peppercorn quality, juniper, fresh and exotic

Palate

Sophisticated citrus tang — mild peppery heat, numbing sensation from the timur, grapefruit character from the pepper itself rather than fruit, juniper backbone, an exotic sensation unlike any other gin

Finish

Numbing citrus — the timur pepper's signature tingling persisting, grapefruit and juniper, an unmistakably Himalayan close

First Impressions

Timur pepper — from the Sichuan pepper family, found in Nepal's mountains — has the sharpness of a regular peppercorn but with a citrusy grapefruit flavour and a distinctive mouth-numbing sensation. This gin makes it the hero botanical.

Tasting

Timur pepper with juniper and classic botanicals. Citrusy grapefruit nose from the pepper. Sophisticated tang palate with numbing heat. Numbing citrus finish.
