That Boutique-y Gin Company Spit-Roasted Pineapple Gin (70cl) NV

Inspired by tales of old, That Boutique-y Gin Company, based in Tonbridge, Kent, have resurrected one of the great fruit gins and given it a 21st century twist – the result is Spit-Roasted Pineapple Gin. Whole, peeled pineapples are lavishly coated with Demerara sugar and spit-roasted until the sugar caramelises. The base gin has a classic recipe with botanicals including juniper, coriander, angelica, orange, lemon, nutmeg, cassia, cinnamon, orris and liquorice. Pineapple and base together make up this luxurious and devilishly indulgent gin, bottled at 40.1%. The toasted sugar and caramelised pineapple are reminiscent of a pineapple fritter, while the brighter, juicer pineapple notes of underlying fruit cry out to be mixed in tiki drinks.
