FEW American Gin (70cl , 40%)
Unlike any other gin, this offering from FEW Spirits is made using white whiskey (un-aged Bourbon) instead of more conventional neutral spirits which gives it a completely unique character!
FEW Spirits hails from Evanston in the United States of America, a city that suffered Prohibition for over one hundred years thanks to many of its advocates hailing from its dry streets. Thankfully Evanston is now home to this excellent craft distillery which takes its name ironically from the initials of Frances Elizabeth Willard, a key figure in the Temperance Movement.
FEW American Gin has tasting notes that blend classic juniper with warm vanilla and bright citrus, creating a smoother, less juniper-forward profile reminiscent of a genever. It also features unique botanicals like home-grown hops, cassia, and grains of paradise, which add complexity with hints of spice, lemon zest, and a grainy character from its corn, wheat, and barley base.
Key flavor notes
- Citrus: Bright notes of lemon peel and orange peel are prominent on the nose and palate.
- Vanilla: A distinct, creamy sweetness from Tahitian vanilla is a signature component.
- Spice: Warm spice notes come from ingredients like cassia and grains of paradise.
- Juniper: Juniper is present but more subdued compared to traditional London Dry gins, providing a balanced, less punchy profile.
- Hops: Home-grown hops add a unique grainy, earthy, and aromatic quality.
Overall profile
- Texture: The gin is described as smooth, soft, and approachable, with a creamy texture, potentially due to distilling the grain spirit to a lower proof.
- Aroma: A complex aroma of lemon peel, vanilla, and warm spices is layered over a subtle juniper base.
- Finish: The finish is clean and fresh, with lingering notes of lemon and vanilla.
- Comparison: Its flavor profile is often compared to genever due to its soft, approachable character and prominent grainy notes from the base spirit.
