Appearance:
Crystal clear, showcasing its purity and meticulous distillation process.

Aroma:
Bold licorice and star anise aromas lead, with hints of cardamom.

Taste:
Complex and bright, with floral notes creating an almost fruity impression. Passion flower and lavender evoke musky wisterias and honeysuckle. The floral notes subside, revealing a spicier, warmer back half with earthy cassia, gentian root, star anise, almond, and ginger.

Finish:
Extremely long, mildly spiced finish with echoes of galangal root and a faint licorice-led nuttiness.

Considerations for Mixing:
Ornamental Gin pairs beautifully with sweet vermouth, making it ideal for cocktails like the Negroni, Martinez, or Bijou. Its complex profile may be challenging in bright citrus-forward drinks but excels in spirit-forward mixes.

Style:
Contemporary gin with a floral and spice-forward profile.

Distillation Method:
Handcrafted from scratch using 100% organic New York State corn. Distilled with a blend of 16 botanicals and spices, then rested for a month to enhance flavor integration.

Botanicals Used:

• Juniper
• Cubeb pepper
• Cardamom

Overall Impression:
The Industrious Spirit Company's Ornamental Gin is a complex and bold gin that straddles an interesting line in the world of gin—there are many floral gins; there are many spice-forward gins. There are few spice + floral gins. Fans of contemporary gin—especially those that boldly embrace new botanical profiles—will find a lot to like about Ornamental Gin.
