Product description
Gin McQueen and the Violet Fog debuted in January 2019 in the Sovereign Brands offering.
It is produced in the Brazilian Junidaí based on distilled sugar cane spirit and 21 botanicals. We do not know the complete list, we know that 15 of them, including juniper berries, citrus and flowers are macerated. The remaining 6 (Portuguese rosemary, Indian basil, Vietnamese anise, Mediterranean fennel, Brazilian acai berries and calamondin [a hybrid of sour mandarin and Japanese kumquat]) are served so-called "vapor infusion" (placed in a copper container through which alcohol vapors pass). The name of the gin is taken from a poem by a Canadian author writing under the pseudonym Atticus, telling about a mysterious rock band.
The aromatic bouquet of McQueen and the Violet Fog gin combines the scents of juniper, forest floor and dried flowers with notes of cardamom, pepper and grapefruit. The palette has stronger fruit notes than the nose suggests, grapefruit, bitter oranges and pine needles, traces of rosemary and white pepper. We recommend serving with ice cubes and ginger ale and in French 75 and Gimlet cocktails.
