Appalachian Gap Mythic Gin (750mL)

A botanical gin that expressed the bounty of Vermont, enhanced with flavors that are rarely, if ever, used in gin. The base spirit for this gin is the same as is used for all of the distilleries' grain-based spirits -- 45% barley, 30% com, 25% rye -- distilled to a much higher proof to create a neutral base.

Balsam fir needles, and even Szechuan peppercorns (along with six other botanicals) are macerated with the traditional juniper berries, then redistilled with in the AppGaps small copper pot still to create an intensely flavored herbal experience with a beautiful nose and round mouthfeel.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: An herb garden in full bloom, with notes of pine, cinnamon, citrus, and herbal tea

Palate: Silky smooth, expressing treble notes of lighter floral flavors with the evergreen notes of juniper and balsam forming the bass. The Szechuan peppercorn and rosehips add unique citrus tones, while the base spirit shines through. 

Finish: Fruity esters and a lingering sweetness.
