Ungava Canadian Premium Gin 70cl, 43.1% ABV

Product Information

Next came what we variously described as ‘fruity’, ‘sweet’, ‘minty’ and ‘fresh’. But we also had ‘grassy’ and ‘lemon tarty’. What we did all seem to agree on was that those ‘tea’ botanicals showed through alongside the juniper, and that there was a definite citrusy undercurrent. It’s also worth flagging that – even those who were at the tarter end of their descriptions – we all agreed that this was extremely smooth and drinkable. How to serve Ungava Gin Michelin joined a growing chorus of voices online taking aim at the company’s use of Inuit culture to sell its product. “It’s like the marketing department for this company was like, you know what, we need a shorthand to say north and cold and nature and we can’t be bothered to come up with our own recognisable symbols, so we’re just going to rip off somebody else,” he said. Toorank Production involves a wide range of specialist premium spirits, cream liqueurs and other alcohol beverage drinks Juniper, cassia, Orris, liquorice, coriander, angelica, nutmeg, cinnamon, citrus peel and a secret ingredient

Nº209 distillery also owns Rudd Oakville Estate Winery and Dean & DeLuca, which also produce N º209 Kosher-for-Passover Vodka Some of the problem lies in the seemingly one-way relationship between the company and Nunavik, the Quebec Inuit territory where the botanicals, from cloudberries to juniper, are harvested, said Stephen Puskas, an Inuk visual artist based in Montreal. “How do Nunavimmiut [Nunavik residents] benefit from the plants harvested on their land and their identity and language used to sell this alcohol?” Puskas recently asked on Facebook.Plymouth Gin is created in the last surviving gin distillery in Plymouth. It is distinctively different and slightly less dry than the much more common London style of gin, purportedly due to a higher than usual proportion of root ingredients, which bring a more ‘earthy’ feel to the gin as well as a softened juniper flavor Juniper, Ugni Blanc grape, ginger root, liquorice, cassia bark, green cardamom, coriander, cubeb berries, nutmeg and lime Pedeliento, G., Andreini, D., & Dalli, D., (2017).

Arctic Blend is a creeping evergreen used as a kind of tea by northern peoples. Labrador tea is a flowering bog plant with white poofy flowers also used as a tea by the Inuit. Crowberries are another evergreen of the north, and these low lying plants produce round purplish berries that are used in jams and pies as well. A lot of tart/semi-sweet fruits in here. Let’s get on to the taste. Tasting Notes Olifant Dry Gin is a very spicy Dutch gin for gin lovers.
