The Nose: Fresh fiery chilli combines with fruity mulberry notes The Palate: Complex & full-bodied with spiced star fruit & ripe cantaloupe melon. The Finish: violet, black tea & a bright lime finale. Drawing on influences from South America, Sipsmith crafted this spicy Day of the Dead gin with botanicals & flavours that have an affinity to tequila. For around 3000 years, the Day of the Dead festival has been practised in Mexico, bringing together family & friends, with food at the forefront of their celebrations. Working alongside friends at Chiswick Chillies, Sipsmith crafted a unique recipe combining 7 chillies from around the world. After a full day of tasting a range of chillies from the rather hot Carolina Reaper, to the rich & fruity Chocolate Habanero, to the Black Naga, Sipsmith can confirm these homegrown chillies really do pack a punch. The various chillies are dried & macerated with lime peel, then vapour infused a second batch of lime during distillation to dial up the citrus & balance the spice. Sip in a Margarita, spice up a mojito, or simply top with ginger beer.
