Blind Tiger - Piper Cubeba Gin and Candle, 47% ABV, 50cl - Bottle Gift Pack with Scented Candle

Bottle Gift Pack with Scented Candle, from the Deluxe Distillery, Gin handcrafted in Belgium

• BLIND TIGER: Distilled in small batches in the back room of a concealed distillery in the Western part of Belgium, unusual botanicals such as malted barley and cubeb pepper are used to give Blind Tiger Gin its daring and invigorating character.
• PIPER CUBEBA: In this daring gin, the higher than average alcohol content carries bags of juniper and cubeb pepper which lingers on with zesty hints of cracked black pepper, violet, orange and liquorice.
• THE NOSE: The waft of celeriac from the blinded botanical in the nose gives way to herbal and floral notes of orange blossom and some citrus on the first sip. Complimented, of course by the accompanying candle in this gift set.
• THE PALATE: Complex with a daring peppery kick and the malted barley introduces a long and warming aftertaste with some more cracked pepper and cubeb and earthy notes of ginger, liquorice & cardamom.
• PERFECT SERVE: Blind Tiger’s full complexity is best to be enjoyed neat or over ice. Served as a Dry Martini with a twist, the Blind Tiger adds spice and notes of orange to this classic cocktail.

A blind tiger is another name for a speakeasy: a hidden bar where alcohol was served during Prohibition. The door of the place would have the picture of a blind tiger or a blind pig, a curiosum which punters could admire after paying a ticket. This ticket was mostly given in the shape of a token which was exchanged for a ‘free’ drink. This way, bar owners could bypass the strict prohibition laws. This gin is istilled in small batches in the back room of a concealed distillery in the Western part of Belgium, unusual botanicals such as malted barley and cubeb pepper are used to give Blind Tiger Gin its daring and invigorating character.
