Named for the geographic coordinates of Grasse, 44°N’s tasting notes read like a who’s who of local botanicals set to the full spectrum dreamscape of the South of France.
This gin encapsulates the exquisite energy and flavour of the French Riviera, where Bitter Orange, Cade, Mimosa, Centifolia and Immortelle are distilled by combining modern gin distilling methods with cutting edge perfume extraction technology.
Tasting Notes –
Base – The tangy warm spicy notes of Alexanders in reminiscent of the undergrowth where the Cade grows freely. Orris and honey ensure a sweet yet musky long-lasting effect on the tongue, holding their end as floral and citrus notes mingle nicely together.
Body – A blooming floral body with hints of Grasse’s Rose Centifolia and Jasmine. Jammy facets of Bitter Orange are countered by the herbaceous punch of Angelica. Hints of warm pepper here and there round out the middle notes.
Top – The first thing that hits your nose is fresh zingy lemon peel and Grapefruit. The aroma of a marine breeze, Samphire, is punctuated by touches of Mimosa. Cade adds woody, piny facets.
