The Karoo Prick - Prickly Pear Gin

“At first encounter the Karoo may seem arid, desolate and unforgiving, but to those who know it, it is a land of secret beauty and infinite variety.”

― Eve Palmer, The Plains of Camdeboo: The Classic Book of the Karoo

The Karoo Prick - Prickly Pear Gin

Botanicals:

Prickly Pear - The fruit that grows on cactus,you can eat them (carefully).
Juniper - If you don't have these berries in your Gin then its not Gin
Coriander - You know what that is !
Cappia Bark - Its a kind of cinnamon used in Chinese Medicine,
Angelica Root - Not what Angelica is complaining about at the hairdresser.

Tasting notes:

‘Quintessential Karoo- A not-so-dry, fruit forward juicy sweet Gin reminiscent of bubble-gum and hard boiled watermelon candy.’

Nose:
Intensely fruity and watermelon candy liqueur.

Palate:
Not as sweet as expected (or feared) with a juicy fresh fruity floral intensity that fills the palette.
Finish: crisp and clean
