North Shore Gin No. 6

Very, very limited. Get it while you can. North Shore's Gin No. 6 is extremely smooth, with a complex balance of citrus, spice and floral notes. North Shore creates No. 6 (90 proof) by infusing their grain-based spirit with hand-selected botanicals from all over the world, along with fresh lemon zest and lavender blossoms. If you have never tasted this gin, or you think you don't like gin, we strongly recommend trying it neat (straight) before mixing it into a cocktail or martini. This will allow you to smell and taste the complex nature of this gin. We know you will be amazed at how much you like it. Distiller's Gin No. 6 is fantastic in a traditional martini - we recommend an 8:1 ratio of gin to vermouth, although this gin works well with more vermouth if you like it that way. 95 points and a Gold Medal/Exceptional Rating - Beverage Testing Institute, 2008 Tasting notes: "Clear with a platinum cast. Vibrant aromas of fresh herbs and spices, piney juniper, and twisted lemon peels jump from the glass. A silky entry leads to a fruity-yet-dry medium-full body of bold cracked juniper berry, pink peppercorns, lemon curd, clove, and pastry frosting flavors. Finishes with a long interplay of resiny juniper, sweet citrus and brown spices. A superb gin that virtually bristles with fresh, 3-D flavors. Very impressive!"
