First in Virago’s Experimental Series, Modern Gin with Oolong Tea is carefully distilled from a unique blend of botanicals, including juniper, coriander, Szechuan peppercorn, lemongrass and Oolong tea. Lively, layered aromas of cracked peppercorn, freshly-cut grass and cinnamon offer a beguiling introduction to this captivating gin. Presenting a counterpoint to more citrus-forward gins, the palate is suffused with piquant notes of Szechuan pepper balanced against the fragrant herbaceousness of Oolong tea, lemon and grapefruit zest and sweet anise before fading into a long, savory finish.
