Named after the pit bull rescued by Wolf Distillery Grasp Distiller Ben Inexperienced, Mr. Pickles Gin carries the cute face of the eponymous pup on the entrance of the bottle, and I’ll admit it, I’m smitten. The fetching blue bottle bearing a sweet-faced canine surrounded by flowers speaks on to my coronary heart. However let’s try what’s contained in the bottle. There we discover a distillate constructed from domestically grown, delicate white winter wheat. Botanicals embrace Angelica root, Blood orange, Cardamom, Coriander seed, Cubeb berries, Juniper, Licorice root, Limes, Marshmallow root, Orris root, Pink peppercorns, and Sencha inexperienced tea. On the bottle, we discover a extra normal description of Mr. Pickles Gin:
This Northwest-style gin is the embodiment of our distillery’s mascot – Mr. Pickles. Although our pitbull rescue might seem to a be a spiked-collar robust man, this tail-wagging bundle of pleasure is as approachable as a Cascade meadow, identical to our gin.
After attempting the gin, I’d say this description is fairly spot on. Mr. Pickles Gin is a crowd pleaser with conventional gin notes, distinctive character, and a delicate demeanor. The nostril opens with vivid juniper, licorice, citrus, pepper, and a light-weight umami word. On the palate, these components come collectively very properly, with orange notes rounding out the expertise. The gin has daring taste, but it surely reveals no sharp edges. In a gin & tonic, it actually shines. The person notes may be appreciated, but it surely all comes collectively into a fancy but refreshing cocktail. Additionally, the value is sort of affordable for a top quality gin. After a tough day at work, I can consider nothing I’d discover extra enjoyable than to pour a G&T with Mr. Pickles Gin and pet a candy pet canine.
