Tranquebar Anniversary 400 Gin

Tranquebar Anniversary 400 Gin

Four hundredyears have passed since Denmark, by peaceful means, bought itself a small colony on the east coast of India. It is a place where, then as much as now, the visitor is metwith an array of tastes, smells and sounds that, for the typical Dane, can only be considered as exotic.

Vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, anise, coriander and wild tropical cranberries dominate everything that is eaten and drunk here. We wanted to create a gin to celebrate this important anniversary: a gin which, if you shut your eyes, could,through its taste and aroma, transport you from your own familiar shores to the southeast of India on the Indian Ocean.

Aroma

Mild vanilla, cardamom and light orange zest create a very fine balance between the warm eastern spices paired with the soft citrus oils.

Taste

Lemon twist with cardamom and vanilla in the background, followed by coriander and umami from the nutmeg. Astrong and mildly rounded taste that perfectly balances the warm spices with the crisp herbs, while behind it all liesa blanket of wild cranberries.

Aftertaste

Here the citrus oils dominate, together with the vanilla. Over time, the cranberries and cinnamon move to the forefront.
