Gintastic! That was my first thought when I took my first sip of G’vine gin, the first-ever Gin made from grape spirit in the Cognac region of France. The grape spirit comes from a rare green grapevine flower that exists for only a short time before maturing into grape berries.
The perfume-like floral aroma makes it’s presence known but is not overpowering - and the botanicals in G’vine gin (ginger root, liquorice, green cardamom, cassia bark, coriander, juniper berries, cubeb berries, nutmeg and lime) result in a very pleasant, spicy and somewhat “sweetish” flavor.
G’vine is a small-batch gem, and it shows - definitely another fine gin for people who think they don’t like gin. G’vine retails between $35 - $40. This is one gintastic gin that you should enjoy neat, or in simple cocktails that will allow the characteristics of the gin to shine through.
