Detailed Description
Perry’s Tot Gin, created by the Brooklyn-based New York Distilling Company, was originally developed while the distillery was creating its initial gin product. The distillery originally planned to create only one version of gin, but decided to produce multiple styles, including this product. This gin is named after Matthew Perry, a 19th Century US Navy Commodore who was once Commander of the Brooklyn Naval shipyard. It is also named for a “tot” – a sailor’s daily ration of alcohol. Made with eight botanicals – juniper, cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, lemon, orange and grapefruit peel, and wild flower honey – this gin is bottled at 57% ABV.
New York Distilling Perry’s Tot – Navy Strength Gin Tasting Notes
Nose: Quite traditional and juniper led but with a creamy, syrupy natural sweetness and floral roundness, that almost certainly comes from the wild flower honey.
Palate: Big and juniper led with citrus, especially grapefruit.
Finish: Earthy orange and juniper.
