You might think tasting gin means drinking it! Right, but a little different.
Open the bo+6ttle and smell it. How is it? peppery, citrusy or flowery?
Take a small amount of neat gin and let it run over your toungue to understand its botanicals.
Add ice to this and let the flavour molecules open up. Now taste and you will find a difference!
After knowing its taste in neat and with ice, decide if you want a cocktail or want to add tonic.
Always keep your gin at room temperature before tasting to help you get the right taste.
While smelling gin make sure you choose the right glass like a snifter to help you with your sense of smell.
Give your gin a nice swirl, to get the best taste.
Which is your favourite drink?
