Merle 12 Botanicals Vapour Infused Gin, 40%

Introduction

Merle Gin is an Argentinian artisan product that stands out in the world of gin with its unique combination of 12 carefully selected botanicals and a refined vapour infusion distillation method. The gin reflects South American craftsmanship and a passion for quality, making it an authentic and memorable experience in its category.

Production Method

• Ingredients: 12 botanicals, including juniper, angelica root, coriander, liquorice, cassia, black pepper, and 6 secret botanicals with citrus character – all carefully selected to create a harmonious and complex flavour profile.
• Distillation Process: Merle Gin is distilled using the vapour infusion method, where steam from the heated base spirit passes through a basket of botanicals. This gentle method extracts the most delicate and nuanced aromas from each individual ingredient.
• Maturation: As a London Dry-inspired style, Merle Gin does not rely on traditional cask ageing, but achieves its depth and body solely through the careful selection and combination of botanicals.
• Special Techniques: The vapour infusion technique is key to Merle’s distinctive, almost oily mouthfeel and ensures that the delicate floral and citrus notes are preserved intact without being overpowered by stronger botanicals.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich and inviting on the nose with distinct notes of fresh juniper, vibrant citrus aromas, and soft floral tones, rounded off by a subtle sweetness from liquorice and cassia.
• Palate: Full and round in the mouth with an almost oily texture. Juniper and citrus dominate up front, followed by floral nuances and a pleasant sharpness from coriander and black pepper, beautifully balanced by cassia’s soft, cinnamon-like sweetness.
• Finish: Long and warm finish with lingering notes of spice and black pepper, lifted by a fresh, light citrus quality that elevates the overall experience to an elegant and satisfying conclusion.

Serving Suggestions

• Serving Temperature: Best enjoyed well chilled at 4–8°C to highlight the gin’s floral and citrus notes.
• Glassware: A classic balloon glass (Copa de Balon) or a large highball glass, which allows the aromas to develop and provides the best tasting experience.
• Serving Ideas: Serve as a classic Gin & Tonic with a premium tonic and fresh citrus peel or a sprig of rosemary. Merle Gin also works beautifully as the base in a Negroni or martini, where its body and complexity truly get the chance to shine.
• Food Pairings: Pairs excellently with fresh seafood, grilled fish, soft cheeses, and tapas-inspired dishes. The spiced character from black pepper and coriander also makes it a natural companion to lightly spiced dishes with Asian or Latin American inspiration.
