Dry Gin

Description

44% Alc./Vol.

Our flagship gin – this is what Dancing Sands is all about. A carefully selected combination of local and traditional botanicals are vapour distilled in our copper pot still, preserving their delicate flavours. A contemporary New Zealand dry gin, given a distinctive Golden Bay twist with verdant manuka leaves.

Nose: a wave of honeyed juniper, followed by subtle spices of peppercorn and cardamom, a touch of ground almond and the gentle scent of a springtime forest.

Taste: cardamom and green manuka leaves take on a warmer and luscious character as they dance onto the tastebuds. Honeyed juniper and freshly cracked black pepper soon join, leading to liquorice sweetness. Perfectly balanced.

With tonic:  A perfectly balanced combination of bitter and sweet and all the way refreshing, you will soon discover why our Dry Gin has put Golden Bay on the map.

Tonic Pairing:  We recommend East Imperial Yuzu Tonic.  Also delicious with StrangeLove Cloudy Pear Lo-Cal Soda.
