Forest Dry Gin Quersus
Forest Dry Gin Quersus is a limited edition Forest Dry Gin. An exceptional drink, as the gin has rested for a year in a wooden wine barrel from the Sauternes family. It is a beautiful marriage between the classic nutty flavors of Forest Dry Gin Autumn and a sweet wine taste. Each bottle is hand-painted and numbered from 001 to 009 by aquarelle artist Valère Maenhout.
In addition to juniper berry, the flavor mix contains some classic gin botanicals; cardamom, angelica, coriander seed and orris root. Soft influences arise from the use of lavender, pear and orange. A slight heat is obtained by using cubeb pepper. The flavor mix is rounded off with an infusion of star anise, licorice and citrus notes of orange, mandarin, lemon, lime and bergamot.
When you open the bottle you immediately smell the maturation. Autumn is still present, you can smell – and taste – falling leaves in your glass. When drunk neat you get a long lasting aftertaste. The combination of pear and oak leaves continues to resonate for a long time. The sweet-woody flavor of the wine barrels then comes through. Intriguing, but you have to love it. Forest Dry Gin Quersus is bottled in 50 cl bottles. with an alcohol content of 42%.
