Luxardo Sour Cherry Flavored Gin

Luxardo Sour Cherry Flavored Gin is a unique offering that blends the classic character of Luxardo London Dry Gin with the distinct, tart flavor of their famed Marasca cherries. Here's a breakdown of what makes it special:   

Key Features:

• Infusion of Marasca Cherry Juice: This gin is created by infusing Luxardo London Dry Gin distillate with the juice of their proprietary Marasca cherries. These are the same cherries used in their renowned Maraschino liqueur.   
• Not a Sloe Gin: It's important to note that this is not a sloe gin. It has a more pronounced gin character and a different balance of sweetness and tartness.   
• Nine Botanicals: Like Luxardo London Dry Gin, it features a selection of nine botanicals, including juniper, coriander, iris, angelica, licorice, cinchona, cinnamon, cardamom, and bitter orange. These botanicals contribute a spicy and complex background.   
• Lower ABV: Bottled at 37.5% ABV, which is slightly lower than their standard London Dry Gin.
• Natural Color: The deep red color of the gin comes naturally from the Marasca cherry infusion.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: A pungent aroma of Marasca cherries is prominent, alongside the distinct notes of juniper from the gin. Hints of almond from the cherry are also present.   
• Palate: The initial taste is clearly gin, with the characteristic spicy and botanical notes. This is followed by a firm and dry sour cherry flavor that is not overly sweet or cloying. Some detect a kirsch-like fruitiness.   
• Finish: The finish is long-lasting with a pleasant sourness from the cherries and a lingering warmth from the gin spices.   

Awards:

• Silver Medal: San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020.

• Silver Medal: New York International Spirits Competition 2019.

• Silver Medal: Bartender Spirits Awards 2019.   

Serving Suggestions:

• Twist on Classics: It's excellent for adding a cherry twist to classic gin cocktails like the Martinez, Gin Fizz, and Aviation.   
• Sour Cherry Gin & Tonic: A simple and refreshing serve with tonic water and a lime or cherry garnish.   
• Neat or Over Ice: Can be enjoyed on its own as an after-dinner drink.
• Creative Cocktails: Its unique flavor profile makes it a versatile ingredient for experimenting with new cocktail recipes.

Overall Impression:

Luxardo Sour Cherry Flavored Gin offers a compelling and well-balanced combination of traditional gin botanicals and the distinct tartness of Marasca cherries. It avoids being overly sweet, allowing the gin's character to shine through while providing a unique and flavorful cherry dimension. If you enjoy both gin and the taste of sour cherries, this is a spirit worth exploring.
