Tranquebar Colonial Gin, Small Batch, 45%

Introduction

Tranquebar Colonial Gin is a masterfully crafted Danish spirit that weaves together Denmark’s rich colonial trading history with contemporary artisanal distillation techniques. This small batch gin stands as a liquid tribute to the historic trading town of Tranquebar on India’s southeastern coast, once a Danish colonial outpost.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium neutral grain spirit serves as the base, complemented by a carefully selected blend of traditional gin botanicals and exotic spices sourced from former Danish colonial trade routes.
• Distillation process: Small batch copper pot distillation ensures exceptional purity and allows for precise control over the botanical extraction process.
• Maturation: After distillation, the gin rests briefly to allow the botanical flavors to harmonize before bottling.
• Special techniques: Some botanicals are vapor-infused rather than macerated, preserving their delicate aromatic qualities and creating a more nuanced flavor profile.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh juniper forward with bright citrus notes, followed by exotic cardamom, coriander, and subtle hints of cinnamon and nutmeg that evoke spice trade routes.
• Palate: Balanced and complex with a velvety mouthfeel. Classic juniper backbone complemented by layered spice notes, citrus zest, and gentle floral undertones with a distinctive touch of black pepper.
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering spice, a touch of licorice, and a clean, dry finish that invites another sip.

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Well-chilled, around 4-6°C (39-43°F)
• Glass recommendation: Copa or balloon gin glass to capture the aromatic qualities, or a classic tumbler for traditional service
• Serving ideas: Exceptional in a classic gin and tonic with premium tonic water and a garnish of orange peel and star anise. Also shines in cocktails like Negroni or Martini, or can be savored neat by gin connoisseurs.
• Food pairings: Pairs wonderfully with Indian-inspired cuisine, smoked salmon, sharp cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts.
