Copper in the Clouds Mango & Black Pepper Gin 70cl
Copper in the Clouds Mango & Black Pepper Gin Created in 'The Distillery at Dowsett's Farm', Copper in the Clouds gin is a small company creating premium gin's in Hertfordshire. Historically, Hertfordshire (a county just to the north of London) was the hunting ground of the British Royal family, and is still relatively rural with numerous forests. They create their gins using locally sourced premium wheat spirit. Where possible, they use locally grown and sourced botanicals, and have even started growing some of their own botanicals on the farm in their recently created botanical garden. This attention to detail ensures a quality, and unique range of gins which they can rightfully be proud of! Each of their bottles is a piece of art itself. With this gin, they capture a tiger and parrot enjoying a meal of mango and cracked black pepper. It was a 2014 study which inspired this gin. A group of food scientists was commisioned to find the best garnish for a G&T. As you might guess, the rather surprising result was a slice of mango and cracked black pepper. Copper in the Clouds felt this sounded particular good, but why stop at just a garnish! They have therefore infused fresh ripe mango, and the best peppercorns into their gin. The gin itself is deliciously fruity, with clear fresh mango flavour. The black pepper is subtle, and doesnt overpower the gin at all, rather tantalises the taste buds! More from Copper in the Clouds Perfect Serve As this is already a sweeter gin, we recommend enjoying with a lighter tonic. Fentimans Naturally Light Tonic works really well, otherwise we'd recommend Fentimans Connoiseurs Tonic. Take a large glass filled with ice and add 50ml of the gin. Gently pour over 150 - 200ml of your chosen tonic and stir gently. Garnish with, you guessed it - a thin slice of mango and a few peppercorns.
