    Nordés – Gin & Tonic

    Nordés is a Spanish Gin from the Galicia region on the country’s north west Atlantic coast. It uses several local botanicals & comes with natural aromas and exquisite flavours.

    On the bottle label is world map that highlights the Galician origin of Nordés and the compass, an expressive symbol that connotes  the Atlantic character.
    .
    The base alcoholic drink is the wine distillate that happens to be produced by using a portion of the Galician Albariño grape. To this are added botanicals viz.,sage, laurel, verbena herb, eucalyptus, peppermint, and a type of seaweed called glasswort. All these impart the freshest subtle floral notes and white fruit aromas. The other botanicals such as juniper, ginger, cardamom, hibiscus flower, and black tea contribute subtle secondary notes that balance the final product.

    Gin & Tonic

    There are various types of gin with notable difference in the way it’s made & tastes. This depends on the stills, pot or column, used to make these gins & the types of botanicals & spices infused
    .
    Types of gin include
    Distilled gin, London Gin, Compound Gin, Plymouth Gin, Old Tom Gin, Sloe Gin, Juniper flavoured spirit  drinks
    .
    Tanqueray London dry gin –  In essence no flavouring can be added after distillation and use of artificial flavouring is not permitted. Unlike distilled gin where it’s permitted to add further flavorings both natural & artificial
    .
    Tanqueray has subtle influences coming from juniper berries, coriander, angelica, cassia. The herbs used in distillation process gives this gin a clear texture and an unsweetened taste
