Mayfield Sussex Hop Gin
Mayfield Gin features a hearty helping of Sussex Hops at the core of its botanical selection - the variety they chose for the gin was originally discovered growing wild in a Sussex hedgerow before hop farmer Andrew Hoad nurtured and cultivated the plucky hop. They`ve also used juniper, orange, lemon, coriander, orris, angelica and liquorice to create this gin. On the nose is oily juniper, sesame, floral hops with a generous splash of citrus. The palate has Peppery at first - juniper once again up front, though now with pine and cardamom backing it up, making for a savoury palate. Orange zest cuts through cleanly.
An interesting gin with the hop base spirit, works a great gin and tonic and a good base for spirit forward cocktails such as a `Bronx`.
45ml Mayfield Sussex Hop Gin
20ml Mancino Rosso Vermouth
20ml Eager Orange Juice
15ml Asterley Bros Schofields Vermouth
1 dash of Angostura Orange Bitters
Garnished with an Orange zest twist
