The Colombian distillery Dictador is famous for its rum, though it's recently begun branching out into the production of new spirits. And in 2015, where is there to go but to gin? The gin-wave is showing no signs of subsiding, and with more and more unique gins arriving on the market, it's gold rush time for gin lovers.
Colombian Ortodoxy Gin is perhaps not as entirely conventional as the name might suggest. It's based on a neutral spirit made from sugar cane, a foundation that carries a light sweetness onto the palate. In other senses the name holds true. The recipe was privately developed and followed by former president of the company, Dario Parra. A gin lover, Parra undertook countless reccy trips to the UK during his quest for the perfect recipe, and the finalised spirit, never intended by him for public sale, is a coolly executed classic.
The aromas of the gin are above all coloured by juniper, and tinged with pine needle notes as well as a hanging sweetness. On the palate, juniper is again central, accompanied by earthy tones as well as a light peppery note and a fresh citrus edge. The texture is creamily smooth and the finish long and compelling. Colombian Ortodoxy Gin brings Colombia into the ever-growing family of gin-producing nations with aplomb, and it's sure to be loved by newcomers and gin veterans alike.
