Sharish Blue Magic Gin Portugal 50cl

Let’s explore the tasting notes for Sharish Blue Magic Gin. This intriguing gin hails from Portugal and features a unique color-changing twist. Here’s what you can expect:

Distillery: Antonio M. F. Cuco
ABV: 40%
Region: Europe, Portugal
Style: Color-changing, Contemporary
Base Spirit: Grain
Known Botanicals: Angelica, Blue Pea, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Coriander, Ginger, Juniper, Lemon Peel, Licorice, Raspberry, Strawberry
Flavor Profile:
The magic of Sharish Blue Magic Gin lies in its use of Clitoria Ternatea flowers. When combined with something that changes the pH (such as tonic water), these flowers transform the gin from blue to pink. These flowers have been used in Thai cuisine, and the gin infuses them after distillation.

Nose: Imagine jammy notes of strawberry jam and strawberry rhubarb pie filling, with a hearty dash of ginger rounding things out.

Palate: When sipped neat, Sharish Blue Magic Gin reveals warm spicy notes enveloping the palate. Hints of cinnamon and raw ginger root add depth. It’s somewhat sharp initially, followed by earthy warmth.

Finish: The finish is fruity, with flavors reminiscent of raspberry preserves, fresh sugared strawberries, and a sprinkle of apple pie spice.

Cocktails:
Sharish Blue Magic Gin shines in a Gin and Tonic, where it’s remarkably bright and fruit-forward with citrusy and floral notes. Fans of gins like Brockman’s will find similarities, but the color-changing trick adds an extra layer of fun. It’s also suitable for a Martini, although why not enjoy the color-changing magic at every opportunity?

Cheers!
