Brockmans Intensely Smooth Premium Gin Gift Set.
…and what Makes a Properly Improper Gin?
Are there exact rules that have to be followed exactly? Are there predetermined measurements ordained by a higher, wiser authority? Is there a certain cosmic balance of aromatics and botanicals that transports you to just approximately heaven? And who decides what makes this or that a proper gin?
They, of Brockmans, are the standard bearers and descendants of a long line of gins that stretches back to time immemorial. And while they respect and honour the traditions that have led them to this time and place, they steadfastly refuse to be beholden to outdated notions of what is and is not a gin. When it should or should not be drunk. Or how it should be drunk. Who should or should not drink it. And where said drinking should be done.
One asks… what if the perfect gin…just happened to be the properly improper gin.
The Brockmans Intensely Smooth gin recipe combines proper traditional juniper and citrus Gin botanicals with the decidedly untraditional, improper notes of blueberries and blackberries, establishing Brockmans as a true disruptor to the category.
THE BOTANICALS
Blueberries and Blackberries (Northern Europe): Adds a tad of rounded harmony and smoothness to the gin.
Juniper Berries (ITALY): Gin’s subtle signature perfume…a discerning nose might detect hints of pine and lavender.
Lemon Peel (Murcia, Spain): Essential! Lemony, zesty citrus.
Orange Peel (Spain): More subtle than lemon, softer on the palate… ah the sweet aromas!
Coriander (Bulgaria): The irresistible contradictions. Spicy sage and sweet citrus notes
Cassia Bark (Indochina): Warm cinnamon notes but softer in aroma… the art of less is more.
Liquorice (China): Provides light woody aromas and sweetness… the secret touch.
Angelica (Belgium & Saxony): Earthier notes give Brockmans a sophisticated dry edge.
Almond (Spain): The great uniter…its oils help bring all the other elements together providing exquisite smoothness.
Orris (Italy): Root of the iris flower… provides notes of violets and helps bind the other botanicals together.
