Russell Henry Malaysian Lime Gin

Russell Henry Malaysian Lime Gin is a vibrant and distinct gin that builds upon the foundation of Russell Henry London Dry Gin by infusing it with the unique character of limau purut, a type of lime native to Malaysia, also known as Kaffir lime.

Production:

• It starts with Russell Henry London Dry Gin, a wheat-based spirit distilled in a Germain-Robin cognac still and a Holstein pot still with botanicals including juniper, coriander, orris root, and lemon peel.

• The London Dry Gin is then infused with the leaves and fruit of the limau purut, sourced from orchards in the San Joaquin Valley, California. The leaves, often used in Malaysian and Indonesian cuisine, offer a deep and complex citrus aroma.

• The gin is then distilled again after the infusion.

• Bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof).

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Classic juniper-forward aromas with prominent and bright zesty lime notes, often described as subtle yet fruity.

• Palate: Dry on the palate with a harmonious blend of juniper and the distinct lime zest. There are often underlying notes of spice, a hint of minerals, and a touch of minty freshness.

• Finish: Described as balanced, smooth, and refreshing, with the lime notes lingering alongside the classic gin botanicals.
