Visual and Aromatic Perfection
This gin presents a crystal-clear appearance, remaining faithful to traditional London Dry standards. When poured, the purity and brilliance of the spirit are immediately apparent. On the nose, Mombasa Club Colonel’s Reserve delights with a harmonious blend of botanicals. Cassia, caraway, and calamus create a rich foundation, while coriander seeds introduce fresh, citrusy notes. A subtle floral whisper elevates the profile, offering depth without overwhelming the senses. Juniper remains discreet but essential, tying the bouquet together gently.
Silky Smooth on the Palate
On the palate, this gin surprises with a silky, smooth texture. A delicate, well-distributed sweetness lingers softly, enhancing the botanical complexity. Each sip reveals layers of flavor that unfold gracefully. The gentle persistence and aromatic farewell highlight the exceptional quality of its long maceration process. This ensures that every botanical infuses its character without overpowering the whole.
Ideal Pairings for the Perfect Serve
Thanks to its distinctive botanical profile and subtle sweetness, Mombasa Club Colonel’s Reserve Gin pairs perfectly with low-quinine tonics. Aromatic mixers and signature cocktails also complement its unique flavor. For the best experience, serve chilled with a light tonic and a twist of lemon to accentuate its citrus side.
Meticulously Distilled for Superior Quality
Produced in small stainless steel stills by the renowned John Dore, this gin undergoes meticulous maceration and distillation. The botanicals are left to rest overnight in high-quality rectified alcohol, ensuring maximum aroma extraction. After distillation, the gin rests for ten days. This process harmonizes the flavors, resulting in an elegant and balanced spirit.
A Unique and Limited Edition Creation
With a higher alcohol content of 43.5% vol. and seven hand-selected botanicals, this gin stands apart. The inclusion of calamus, a rare aquatic plant, adds an exotic touch. Its medicinal and aromatic qualities blend seamlessly with coriander, cassia, and caraway to deliver a distinct, memorable character.
