Oro V Gin Review & Tasting Notes
About Oro V Gin
Oro V Gin was launched in 2018 and is distilled in-house at Dalton Distillery in Scotland, founded by the Clynick family and led by Head Distiller Ray Clynick - a former scientist and graduate of Heriot Watt International Centre for Brewing and Distilling. Oro V Gin's recipe includes classic botanicals alongside cardamom, fennel and lavender, which are macerated for 24 hours before a 'one shot' distillation in a traditional copper pot still. This is followed by the addition of water for bottling at 43% ABV. The name 'Oro' comes from the Spanish word for 'gold', intending to highlight the gin's sense of luxury. |
The Gin Guide Review
Oro V Gin delivers depth of flavour, complexity, balance and a lingering finish. The delicate and light nose hints at the liquorice, marzipan and fennel notes that come to the fore on the palate alongside plentiful juniper, citrus and classic botanicals. The mouthfeel is pleasing and smooth, aided by the use of lavender. At 43%, Oro V Gin mixes well and is ideally garnished with lavender or lemon - Paul Jackson, 2019 |

Meet the MakerOnce we spoke at length about flavour profiles and balance, I went away and designed it theoretically, looking at chemical compounds found with botanicals and how variation of concentration affects flavour threshold.
