Hayman’s of London - Vibrant Citrus Gin
Vibrant Citrus is an ode to freshness. For this reference, the Hayman family has carefully selected citrus botanicals such as lemon, lime, sweet orange, and pink grapefruit, allowing them to macerate with juniper for 24 hours before distillation. The secret to its vibrancy lies in the use of sun-dried peels, which preserve a higher concentration of essential oils. The result is a gin that bursts with energy, where the citrus component doesn't overpower the juniper, but rather accompanies it in a bright and refreshing sip. It's the perfect choice for those looking for an elegant, easily drinkable summer gin.
Sensory Profile
-
Colour: Clear and brilliant.
-
Nose: A refreshing Mediterranean bouquet. The opening is an explosion of grapefruit and lime zest, followed by sweet orange notes and a balsamic hint of juniper. A slight floral nuance makes the nose extremely inviting.
-
Taste: On the palate, it is lively and crisp. The freshness of the citrus is the absolute star, delivering an almost crunchy sensation. The structure remains dry and clean, with juniper providing the right persistence. The finish is long, citrusy, and pleasantly refreshing.
Production Process Distilled in small batches in London's historic copper pot stills, it follows the traditional house method. Meticulous attention to distillation times ensures that only the brightest and most fragrant citrus notes are captured, avoiding any bitter or heavy hints.
