On today’s Murder Table Tasting, we’re going back to Langford, British Columbia in Canada (Vancouver Island to be more specific). During our last visit, we tasted a Fresh Lemon Liqueur from Sheringham DIstillery, This time around, we’re trying their Beacon Gin.
Before we get to our review, here are a few words about this Gin that we copy/pasted directly from their website:
Formerly Kazuki Gin, “Beacon” embodies a sense of place, signifying two monumental sites on Vancouver Island where Sheringham Distillery originated–the iconic Sheringham Point Lighthouse beacon located by our first distillery and the beloved springtime cherry blossom-lined Beacon Hill Park. Brilliant floral and fruitiness of the cherry blossoms deliver polished and rounded edges with soft citrus notes of yuzu and grapefruit, and local green tea leaves and flowers give a delicate herbaceous note through to the finish. Beacon Gin is elegant on its own and brilliantly nuanced in a Sheringham cocktail. 43% ABV
While we’d never consider ourselves to be experts when it comes to Gin (or anything else for that matter!), we have had more than a few over the years, so we’re not exactly novices when it comes to this type of stuff.
