Weekly Gin Recommendation

Weekly Gin Recommendation - Lava Spirits Coffee Gin

• I take one sip and I am in Florence in Tuscany. 
• I have just come across the bridge as the sun is setting and settled down in a nice cafe in the city.
• There is lots of hustle and bustle but I am I am having this gin and savouring a moment.
• The nose of this gin is initially a London Dry but very soon the aroma turns to coffee.
• The coffee is just so naturally sweet and I have not tasted coffee flavour like this since I last visited Small Batch in Worthing @sbcrworthing.
• The flavour profile starts with a smooth coffee taste which then goes to a sweeter coffee flavour.
• This is followed by juniper on your palette and then finally a resurgence of coffee.
• I cannot believe how two strong flavours like juniper and coffee can be fused together and that this only took 18 months. 
• The fusion of these two flavours is magnificent and quite simply is a feat of taste engineering.
• I paired this with a Mediterranean tonic to test it as a long serve. 
• Given the flavour profile I should have probably broken with testing protocol and gone with one of Coca Cola’s dark spirit mixers as Laura suggested.
• The possibilities of this drink really lie with mixologists in my opinion. Obvious choices are an espresso martini but I think this would be a fantastic...
