Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Three - Orange Spice

Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Three: A Journey Through Juniper and Spice (70cl, 42% ABV)

Unveiling a Dickensian Delight

The General Wine proudly presents Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Three, a handcrafted spirit boasting a rich heritage and a taste inspired by the past.

Distilled in the heart of Surrey, England, at The Surrey Copper Distillery, this gin embodies the spirit of classic London Dry gin with a delightful twist of orange spice.  

Aromatic Exploration: A Symphony of Botanicals

Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Three leads with a distinctive juniper presence, the cornerstone of any great gin. This juniper heart is then complemented by a complex tapestry of botanicals, each meticulously chosen and distilled using a unique vapour infusion process. 

Carefully selected winter spice notes emerge, reminiscent of cinnamon and cloves, warming the nose and promising a comforting depth of flavour. Hints of earthy angelica root and peppery coriander add a touch of intrigue, while the subtle presence of orange peel adds a refreshing citrus twist. The overall aroma is intriguing and inviting, promising a delightful drinking experience.  

Tasting Delights: A Balance of Juniper and Spice

On the palate, Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Three delivers a satisfyingly smooth and rounded mouthfeel. The juniper takes centre stage, yet it is never overpowering. It seamlessly integrates with the warming winter spices that dance on the tongue, offering a touch of sweetness from the orange peel that lingers pleasantly. Hints of earthy botanicals add complexity, creating a captivating interplay of flavours. The finish is clean and crisp, leaving a lasting impression of juniper and spice.

The Perfect Serve: Unlocking the Flavour Potential

To fully appreciate the intricate tapestry of flavours in Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Three, we recommend the distillery's "Perfect Serve." Simply combine a measure of the gin with ice, top it off with Fever-Tree Hibiscus Tonic Water, and garnish with a fresh orange wheel and raspberries. The hibiscus tonic water accentuates the orange peel notes and adds a touch of floral sweetness, perfectly complementing the gin's complexity.  

Alternatively, any premium Indian tonic or fruity tonic can be used to create your own personalised gin and tonic experience. Experiment with different garnishes like grapefruit peels, rosemary sprigs, or even a dash of ginger ale to discover your perfect combination.

Food Pairings: A Culinary Adventure

Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Three's versatility allows for a variety of food pairings.

• Seafood: The gin's juniper backbone pairs beautifully with the delicate flavours of seared scallops, grilled prawns, or smoked salmon.
• Spicy Dishes: The warming spices in the gin can stand up to the heat of Thai curries, Indian curries, or Mexican fajitas.
• Cheese: Enjoy Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Three with a selection of hard cheeses like aged cheddar, Manchego, or Pecorino Romano. The gin's rich character cuts through the creaminess of the cheese, creating a satisfying contrast.

A Toast to Heritage: A Gin Steeped in History

Copperfield London Dry Gin Volume Three is more than just a spirit; it's a journey through time. Inspired by a historical recipe discovered in a copy of "The Complete Distiller" by Ambrose Cooper, this gin pays homage to the very essence of English gin making. The name itself, a tribute to Charles Dickens' fortuitous find, evokes a sense of literary wonder and a connection to the author who so often referenced gin in his works.
