OPIHR ORIENTAL SPICED GIN

42.5% ABV, 700 ml

The name
The Opihr – pronounced {O-peer}. Opihr is a legendary region famed for its wealth and riches which prospered during the reign of King Solomon. The King regularly received cargoes of gold, silver and spices from Opihr and whilst its exact location remains a mystery, it is thought to have been in the Orient, along the Ancient Spice Route. Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin is a unique style of London Dry Gin created by the Master Gin Distiller at the world’s oldest gin distillers, using exotic botanicals, herbs and spices. Opihr is the world’s fastest growing super premium gin (according to The International Wine and Spirit Research “IWSR” August, 2015). Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin is crafted with a selection of exotic hand-picked botanicals, carefully chosen by Opihr’s Master Distiller, including spicy Cubeb pepper from Indonesia, Tellicherry Black Pepper from India and Coriander seeds from Morocco.

The Distillation
The botanicals in Opihr Gin make the journey to their final destination, the oldest distillery in England, where quality gin has been traditionally distilled
using the same London Dry Gin method since 1761. The Master Distiller then infuses the botanicals in high quality spirit in copper pot stills, using over
250 years of tradition and expertise, to create a unique spiced gin.

Tasting Notes
Nose: A rich Oriental spiced gin with a smooth perfume and sharp bursts of citrus. Key notes of cumin and cardamom provide a warm earthy background balanced with the grapefruit peel.
Taste: Soft camphor, some sweetness and oriental spices create a warm mouth feel that lingers but does not increase in intensity.
Finish: Long length with soft cracked black pepper and spice.
