Gordon's Mediterranean Orange Gin: A Citrus Twist on a Classic 

Unveiling a Refreshing Orange Oasis

For gin enthusiasts seeking a burst of sunshine in their glass, Gordon's Mediterranean Orange Gin offers an enticing departure from the traditional juniper-forward London Dry style. This spirit infuses the classic Gordon's base with the vibrant zest of Mediterranean oranges, creating a delightful harmony of citrusy sweetness and the signature juniper notes.

A Legacy Steeped in Tradition

The Gordon's brand boasts a rich heritage dating back to 1769. Their unwavering commitment to quality and innovation has secured their position as the world's best-selling gin. Gordon's Mediterranean Orange Gin draws inspiration from a 1929 recipe, showcasing their dedication to exploring new flavour profiles while staying true to their gin-making heritage.

Aromatic Adventure: A Symphony of Citrus and Juniper

Pouring a measure of Gordon's Mediterranean Orange Gin unveils a crystal-clear spirit with a subtle orange shimmer. As you raise the glass to your nose, a wave of invigorating citrus aromas washes over you. The zesty essence of Mediterranean oranges takes centre stage, intertwined with the familiar, piney notes of juniper. Hints of coriander and other botanicals peek through, adding a touch of complexity to the inviting fragrance.

Tasting Profile: A Refreshing Joust Between Sweet and Savoury

The first sip of Gordon's Mediterranean Orange Gin delivers a burst of zesty orange that dances on the tongue. The sweetness is vibrant but not overpowering, perfectly balanced by the dry juniper backbone that defines Gordon's gins. Peppery notes of coriander emerge alongside subtle hints of angelica root, adding depth and intrigue to the flavour profile. The finish is refreshingly clean, leaving a lingering citrus zest that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
