Audemus Pink Pepper Gin - Review & Tasting Notes
Pink Pepper Gin
Launched in 2013, Pink Pepper Gin is distilled in the living room of founder Miko Abouaf's house in the centre of Cognac. Unlike the Cognac producers that surround the town who use large copper stills, Audemus Spirits use glass vacuum stills having been originally inspired by the vacuum distillation setup of Sacred Spirits of London. This distillation method allows alcohol to boil at a lower temperature and therefore the process can be more sensitive to delicate botanicals and avoid overheating or stewing them. |
The Gin Guide Review
Pink Pepper Gin is a full-bodied, contemporary and vibrant gin. Aromatic juniper, vanilla, honey, cardamom and pink peppercorns leap out on the nose and are all evident and well-balanced on the palate too, with a smooth, full mouthfeel and a lingering, warming finish. When mixed with tonic, Pink Pepper Gin is characterful and distinctive. Juniper, pink pepper and cardamom notes are elevated and lemon peel or grapefruit peel make for ideal starting points. Well worth trying in a Negroni for a contemporary twist on a classic. - Paul Jackson, 2019 |

Meet the Maker
"The initial goal was to make a honey gin, using local honey as a core botanical (which is still the case) - but it was upon adding a pink pepper distillate that the 'eureka' moment happened."
