$114.00 $91.20
Mcclintock Forager Gin – This is a vapor-infused new world style gin made with 21 botanicals, including native Appalachian additions like chicory root to give it, in the words of the distillers, a sense of “Maryland-mountain terroir.” The nose is floral and earthy with juniper berry, licorice, and sandalwood. There’s a bit of expressed lemon peel and a generous amount of cardamom floating in here, too.
Tasting Notes Of Mcclintock Forager Gin
Nose :
Forager Gin is a bit grassy and herbal at first nose. Hints of vegetable leaf greet the nose at first, but a robust combination of rich, slightly musky floral notes lie underneath. There’s also this dark, almost earthy rosehip note that gives Forager Gin a jam-like sweetness. Plenty of spice notes as well. Cardamom is perhaps the most prominent spice note. But in short— there’s a LOT going on in the nose of Forager Gin.
Palate :
The palate of Forager Gin seemingly simplifies the wide collection of botanicals used. Citrus with hibiscus and anise seed notes early. Mid-palate is a bit creamy with slightly vanilla tinged meadowsweet blossoms lending color to candied angelica stalks, and a bit more fennel/anise notes.
Finish :
The finish continues. The anise and fennel notes become a bit more earthy and unctuous, suggesting heavy, tuberous licorice roots.
