Tiger Ruby Gin

Untamed Pleasure: A Deep Dive into Tiger Ruby Gin

Tiger Ruby Gin, the vibrantly pink offspring of the award-winning Tiger Gin, isn't just a looker. This Shropshire-born spirit offers a captivating journey for the taste buds, balancing the classic juniper core of its parent with a touch of sweet and tart rhubarb.

A Feast for the Eyes: Colour and Clarity

The first impression comes from the stunning presentation. Tiger Ruby boasts a captivating pink hue, reminiscent of summer berries and vibrant sunsets. The crystal-clear bottle allows you to fully appreciate this delightful colour before your first sip.

The Olfactory Adventure: A Symphony of Botanicals

Pour yourself a generous measure and take a moment to appreciate the gin's enticing aroma. The juniper backbone, characteristic of all gins, is immediately present, but it's not overpowering. Instead, it mingles harmoniously with a delightful medley of botanicals. Hints of citrus peel, coriander seed, and a touch of spice peek through, creating a sense of intrigue and anticipation. The star of the show, however, is the unmistakable fragrance of rhubarb. Its sweet and tart notes weave a captivating spell, promising a flavour experience unlike any other.

The Taste Test: A Balancing Act

The first sip of Tiger Ruby Gin is a revelation. The juniper asserts itself initially, delivering a familiar warmth on the tongue. But then, the magic happens. The sweetness of rhubarb unfolds, perfectly balancing the juniper's bite. The result? A gin that is both invigorating and refreshingly sweet, with a touch of tartness that keeps it interesting. The botanical symphony continues to play on the palate, with subtle hints of citrus and spice adding depth and complexity. The finish is long and smooth, leaving a lingering impression of juniper and sweet rhubarb.
