Porters Scottish Modern Classic Cold Distilled Dry Gin

orter's Dry Gin Modern Classic Gin Cold Distilled is a contemporary London Dry style gin produced by Porter's Gin in Aberdeen, Scotland. It utilizes a combination of traditional distillation and modern cold distillation techniques to create a uniquely flavored spirit.   

Key Features:

• Scottish Origin: Distilled in Aberdeen, Scotland by Porter's Gin.   
• Cold Distilled: A portion of the botanicals, specifically the Buddha's Hand citron, is cold-distilled in a vacuum still at low temperatures to preserve their delicate aromas and flavors that would be lost in traditional heat distillation.   
• Classic London Dry Base: Features a base of traditional gin botanicals distilled in a copper pot still.
• Key Botanical: Buddha's Hand Citron: This unusual citrus fruit is a key differentiator, contributing bright, zesty, and almost floral citrus notes that lie somewhere between lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin.   
• Other Botanicals: Alongside juniper, other botanicals include pink peppercorn, orris root, cinnamon, lemon peel, orange peel, angelica root, cassia bark, almond, coriander, and licorice.   
• Wheat Base: Made from 100% British wheat spirit.   
• ABV: Typically bottled at 41.5% ABV.   

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Offers a vibrant aroma dominated by juniper, immediately followed by the bright, zesty, and fragrant notes of Buddha's Hand citron. Hints of spice from the pink peppercorn and cinnamon are also present.   
• Palate: Exceptionally well-balanced, with a clean and smooth citrus profile leading the way, supported by a classic juniper backbone. The spice notes add complexity without overpowering the freshness.   
• Finish: Crisp and refreshing, with a lingering citrus zest and a pleasant warmth from the spices.
