This very floral scented gin is astoundingly drinkable straight or on the rocks. It has a smooth viscosity, with stone fruits and bright red berry flavors. A light-handed dose of citrus and cracked pepper hit the upper palate and make for a long and bright finish. The fruit-forward aspect of this gin makes it the perfect choice for savoring on its own or for use in gin-based cocktails that stray away from over-the-top juniper flavors. The price for this quality of gin is a darn good one, too.

Notes

Eleventh-generation heirs Carl Jr. and Bob Nolet collaborated with their father, Carolus Nolet Sr., to create a fresh take on gin that appeals to a new generation of gin drinkers. Floral and fruit-forward, the Silver uses some unique ingredients like Turkish rose, peach, and raspberry. Perfectly integrated and delineated, these flavors work wonders together and can be coaxed to the foreground by a thoughtful mixologist. A modern twist on the classic dry gin designed to enhance all your classic cocktails and inspire you to create new ones. Proost! *#1 in the Gin and Genever Category* and *Five Stars/Highest Recommendation* according to F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal, June 2010.
