Fy Organic Hawaiian Gin

Fy Organic Gin is a unique spirit hailing from Hawaii Sea Spirits Organic Farm and Distillery, the same makers of Ocean Organic Vodka and Kula Rum. Here’s a breakdown of what makes it distinctive:

Key Features:

• “Hawai’i Wet Gin”: Unlike traditional “London Dry” gins where all flavor must be added during distillation, Fy Organic Gin embraces a “Hawai’i Wet” style. This means flavors can be added after distillation, allowing for a different approach to the final taste profile.

• Organic: It’s made with 100% organic ingredients.

• Sugarcane Base: The base spirit is distilled from organic sugarcane alcohol, a departure from the typical grain-based gins.
• Five Key Botanicals: Fy Gin is formulated with a focus on five botanicals designed to hit all five taste receptors:
  • Sugarcane: (Sweet)
  • Lime: (Sour)
  • Juniper: (Bitter)
  • Lavender: (Umami)
  • Ginger: (Salty)
• Deep Ocean Mineral Water: It’s blended with deep ocean mineral water sourced from 3,000 feet below the surface off the Kona Coast of Hawaii.

• Sustainable Practices: The distillery emphasizes ecological responsibility and practices natural farming without pesticides, GMOs, or synthetic fertilizers. The bottle is designed with a large opening for reuse as a bud vase.

• Proof: Typically bottled at 85 proof (42.5% ABV).

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Often described as having a strong initial scent of sugarcane and bright citrus, particularly lime. Some detect a floral note from the lavender.
• Palate: The flavor is dominated by lime and juniper, with a noticeable but not overpowering hint of sugarcane. The ginger is often subtle. Some reviewers note a slight saltiness.
• Finish: Generally clean with lingering citrus and a delicate spice.

Overall Impression:

Fy Organic Gin offers a unique and refreshing take on gin, distinctly different from the traditional London Dry style. The sugarcane base and the prominent lime and lavender notes create a bright and somewhat tropical character. It’s often recommended for citrus-forward cocktails like a Gin Rickey, Gin & Tonic, or Tom Collins. Some reviewers suggest it might not be the best choice for a classic Martini due to its less pronounced juniper profile. If you enjoy a gin with a strong citrus presence and a touch of Hawaiian terroir, Fy Organic Gin is worth exploring.
