#St. George Terroir Gin

[catboybiologist]

whats your favorite gin drink

I try to drink gins flavorful enough that they're good just on the rocks, with a bit of time to let the ice dilute it a bit. Either that, or a simple gin and tonic, or with a splash of lemon to help it go down easier. I'll also just put it into any random soda or juice I happen to have, and it usually turns out well. Anything that doesn't drown out the flavor of the liquor itself, but instead balances out the high alcohol content to bring out the herbal taste itself.

Since gin is a flavorful liquor, your choice of gin matters a lot more than other liquors imo. Roku, from Suntory distillery, is one of my favorites, and I think has extremely broad appeal. Extremely floral and usually pretty easy to get in California, although the price varies wildly. In the Bay Area I've seen 750mL bottles in Safeway for $15, More California specific favorites are Grey Whale and St. George's Terroir are also fantastic. Botanivore, also from St. George's, is also good, but less intensely flavorful. All of those will probably run you $30-50 a bottle, though.

Beefeater is good if you want a gin that just tastes like gin. If you're drinking anything from Bombay, here's a money saving tip: piss in a bottle of Kirkland vodka and drink that instead.

Cocktails at Home: The Best Martini from Harris’ Restaurant, San Francisco

In our not-so-humble opinion, a great steakhouse is only so-so without a great martini. San Francisco’s elegant Harris’ Restaurant knows this and has built its 30-year reputation on its fine aged cuts of Midwestern beef – matched by its selection of fine wines and spirits. Diners return again and again for such temptations as the 6-ounce Wagyu Ribeye “appetizer,” 14-ounce ribeye Prime Rib, or the…

my day has been an absolute shit show but i immediately made myself a drink and its fucking delicious so here is:

a couple juniper berries and a few leaves of basil muddled into St. George Terroir Gin. Add ice, frozen berries (black n blue) and a little bit of whatever red juice is in the fridge (probs just a canned punch)

so god damn good. But sadly, it was the last of that gin, and was the tiniest glass, so i cant make more :(

13 gins, four East Imperial tonic waters, 26 bars with signature gin and tonics vying for the title of Kuala Lumpur’s Best Gin And Tonic.

This year’s East Imperial Gin Jubilee 2019 is back and bigger than ever, and gin lovers are certainly spoilt for choice.

The four-day event kicks off today an opening party at W Hotel’s Wet Deck on Oct 8. It will be followed by four days of gin and tonic workshops, guest shifts and masterclasses in various venues, before ending with the Gin Lane party at KL’s Sentul Depot on Oct 12. (For more information, visit the Facebook event page)

This year, the focus is very much on how East Imperial’s tonic waters pair with the 13 different gins.

“For this year’s Gin Jubilee, we wanted the drinks to highlight the importance of a good quality tonic water in a gin and tonic, and we’re proud to say that each and every one of the 26 drinks have accomplished that goal,” said Shawn Samuel, managing director of Wholly Spirits, the organisers of the Gin Jubilee in KL.

Indeed, the gin and tonic may seem like an easy cocktail to make, but there are certain elements of the drink that you need to be aware of.

First of all, the ratio of gin to tonic. Depending on how strong you like your drinks, you can choose between one to three parts of gin to go with three parts of tonic.

However, much depends on the gin and tonic water you are using. There is no point buying an expensive premium gin if you are only going to mix it with a mainstream tonic water bought off the shelf at the supermarket. Many of these tonic waters contain a high amount of citric acid that gives it that highly bitter, citrus-y note that most people associate with tonic water.

East Imperial’s core range of tonic waters include (from left) Yuzu Tonic, Old World Tonic, Tonic Water, and Grapefruit Tonic.

But real tonic water isn’t like that, according to East Imperial co-founder Kevin Law-Smith when I spoke to him at last year’s Gin Jubilee.

“Most of the common tonic waters in the market are not actually based on what a tonic water really is. What we had then was a soft drink – with artificial ingredients, lots of sugar and a high citric acid content – that you can’t consider as a tonic,” he said.

Law-Smith’s inspiration for his first tonic water, the East Imperial Old World Tonic, was his great-grandfather, or specifically, what was in his great-grandfather’s tumbler when he was travelling to East Africa and East Asia around 1903.

“Back then, tonic water was still being used as an antidote for malaria. That’s the real tradition of tonic waters, and I wanted to create something that resembled that,” he said, adding that he then tracked down the source of the original hand-picked ingredients that were used to make it.

The result was Old World Tonic, which Law-Smith said has half the sugar content compared to other tonics, and just a pinch of citric acid. “The Old World Tonic is a product that really lets the gin shine,” he said.

East Imperial has four tonic waters in total in their portfolio, comprising the flagship East Imperial Tonic Water, Yuzu Tonic, Grapefruit Tonic, and the aforementioned Old World Tonic. There’s also a recently launched Royal Botanic Tonic (which is not currently available in Malaysia), as well as other beverages such as the Soda Water, Grapefruit Soda, Ginger Ale and Ginger Beer

East Imperial Old World Tonic

East Imperial’s official website calls this “the champagne of tonic waters”, a “true tonic water” with only “a trace of natural citric acid” and less than half the sugar content of mainstream brands.

On its own, the tonic water is certainly a lot less bitter than most tonic waters. That distinct citric acid flavour that is so prominent in commercial brands is reduced to a mere whiff and tinge in the Old World, complemented with soft floral notes, all of which help bring out the softer and more subtle flavours in a gin better.

The Gin Jubilee bars that will be using the Old World tonic in their drinks are: 61 Monarchy (Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin), Bar Shake (Monkey 47), Bar Trigona (Rock Rose Gin), BotakLiquor (G’Vine Floraison Gin), Elements (Caorunn Gin), HYDE at 53 M (Gin Agricolo Blagheur), The Pawn Room (Scapegrace Gin).

East Imperial Tonic Water

Like it or not, most consumers and bartenders are still very much used to the flavours of modern tonic waters. Hence, East Imperial’s flagship tonic water is closer to that contemporary style than the Old World, with added citric acid, higher sugar level, and the highest quinine levels available in the market.

Recommended to go with the more classic London dry style gins, the tonic also includes top notes of Thai lemongrass and manao lime, making for a fresh, slightly citrusy sensation on the palate.

The Gin Jubilee bars that will be using the East Imperial Tonic Water in their drinks are: Beta KL (The Botanist), Flying Monkeys (Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin), Knowhere (St George Terroir Gin), Marigin (The West Winds Cutlass), Mezze (Scapegrace Gin), Pacific Standard Bar (The Botanist), The Sticky Wicket (St George Terroir Gin), Three X Co (Gin Agricolo Blagheur) and WOOBAR at W Hotel KL (Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin).

East Imperial Yuzu Tonic

Yuzu is an aromatic sweet citrus fruit commonly found in Japan, with distinct zesty flavour, and that bright, citrusy note really shines through in the Yuzu Tonic, which has a very fruity, floral nose and palate that goes well with London dry gins and citrus-forward spirits.

The Gin Jubilee bars that will be using the Yuzu Tonic in their drinks are: Coley (Caorunn Gin), Mrs Jones’ Parlour (G’Vine Floraison Gin), Pahit (Monkey 47 Dry Gin), PS150 (Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin), The Locker & Loft (The West Winds Cutlass) and The Vault (Hendrick’s Gin).

East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic

This tonic is flavoured with something we Malaysians are pretty familiar with – pomelo. This particular tonic takes the pomelo and blends it with ruby red grapefruit, for the most zesty amd citrus-forward tonic in the range. Like the yuzu, this is also great for pairing with traditional London dry gins and citrus-forward spirits.

The Gin Jubilee bars that will be using the Yuzu Tonic in their drinks are: JungleBird (Rock Rose Gin), Pinchos Tapas Bar (Napue Gin by Kyrö Distillery Company), Soma (Hendrick’s Gin) and Tickets (Napue Gin).

Michael Cheang thinks the best tonic always has a large gin in it. Contact him at the Tipsy-Turvy Facebook page (fb.com/MyTipsyTurvy) or follow him on Instagram (@MyTipsyTurvy) or Twitter (@MichaelCheang).

Global Gin & Tonics: In finding Your Favourite Nation

Consider the vintage gin and tonic. Are you envisioning an overly British libation in a Collins glass? Or most likely you notice Spanish gin tonic in a goblet replete with garnishes galore. Both manner, the ones are simply two examples of the way you’ll be able to move global along with your gin and tonic pairings. With gin being made all internationally, and a rising selection of tonic manufacturers in the marketplace as smartly, you’ll be able to mix’n’match for some very worldly gin and tonic concoctions. Spin the globe and seek advice from those nations, drink through drink. It’s global gin & tonics time.

England

It is sensible to start out in the house of London Dry Gin, after all. In opting for a gin from England, vintage manufacturers comparable to Bombay, Tanqueray, Beefeater, and Gordon’s will fit your wishes. Or you’ll be able to glance to the brand new faculty contingent, led through manufacturers comparable to Sipsmith.

However you’ll even have your number of tonics to make a choice from. Whilst Schweppes were given began in Switzerland circa 1783, inside a decade corporate founder Johann Jacob Schweppe relocated to London. Lately, the emblem that began the fashionable tonic motion, Fever-Tree, could also be primarily based in London. Imagine pairing new + new with a Sipsmith & Fever-Tree. Then move oldschool with a Beefeater & Schweppes vintage combo.

United States

There’s an infinite collection of American gins in the marketplace as of late. One of the vital maximum widely recognized examples come with Bluecoat, Aviation, Junípero, St. George Terroir Gin, and Brooklyn Gin. By way of all manner regardless that, hunt down your favourite gin from a neighborhood distillery. While you do, imagine pairing it with one of the crucial bartender favourite, high-carbonation tonics from Q Mixers.

Matt Graham of Herbs & Rye in Las Vegas created his All American G&T with a base of Aviation and Q Indian Tonic. At a famend cocktail hub, his drink is taken to the following degree with honeydew melon puree, coconut water, lemon juice, and what he calls caraway date nectar (date nectar mixed with caraway, strained).

“It’s a lovely aggregate of vibrant, contemporary honeydew melon and coconut water with the warming results of the caraway date nectar and the bubbling complexity of Q Indian tonic,” Graham says. “There are complementary substances with a seasonal really feel that differs between them. It’s an overly refreshing drink that has a relatively dry-bitter however delightful end.”

At house there’s no want to get so intricate, however take cues from Graham through bearing in mind the additions of unpolluted, seasonal culmination to construct complementary flavors.

Scotland

Scotland would possibly bring to mind whisky greater than gin, however its juniper roots run deep too. Imagine that Scotland is house to Hendrick’s Gin, the emblem at the vanguard of the fashionable widening of the class. There have since been new Scottish gin manufacturers launched comparable to The Botanist made through Bruichladdich, the Islay whisky distillery. Caorunn Gin made through Inver Area Distillers is some other Scottish gin value noting. Each manufacturers spotlight Scottish botanicals of their gin and are worthy of searching for out.

Netherlands

When you’re aware of the historical past of gin, then it’s possible you’ll recall to mind genever ahead of gin on the subject of the Netherlands. Alternatively, there’s numerous gin coming from the Netherlands as smartly, headlined through Damrak.

“Damrak is a citrus-forward gin from Holland,” says Andreas Pejovic from Corrida in Boulder, Colorado. That citrus-forward profile makes a excellent fit for citrus garnishes, in addition to the notes from Fever-Tree’s Mediterranean Tonic. “All of it makes for an especially refreshing cocktail that leaves you short of to whilst away an entire afternoon casually topping off your drink intermittently with tonic as you watch the arena move through.”

For the Dutch Gin & Tonic from Pejovic and Bryan Dayton, first fill a goblet taste glass with ice. Then pour two oz. of Damrak gin and best it off with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic. In any case, upload garnishes comparable to an orange slice and rosemary sprig.

Japan

Either one of probably the most distinguished Jap whisky makers have now became to the gin international as smartly: Suntory has Roku Gin and Nikka has its Coffey Gin. And simply as many American manufacturers carved out new territory with much less juniper-heavy taste profiles, those Jap entrants are taking a look somewhere else through together with Jap flavors and botanicals, comparable to yuzu, shiso, and sanshō pepper. It simplest is sensible then to show to different Jap substances when the usage of a Jap Gin. That is precisely what Harvard & Stone’s Aaron Polsky does together with his Jap Gin & Tonic.

He builds the drink with 2 oz. of Roku Gin and five oz. of Q Indian Tonic, incorporating pickled ume plum and pickled ginger within the glass. The plum is positioned within the backside of the glass ahead of topping with ice and liquid substances. Then he slides a couple of pickled ginger slices down the perimeters with a spoon.

“The salt within the pickled plum is helping to mood the bitterness of the drink, whilst taking part in off of the cherry blossom flavors within the gin,” Polsky says. “The savory high quality of the plum additionally brings out the coriander and the sencha tea botanicals. The longer it sits, the extra of the ones flavors seep into the cocktail.”

Spain

Spain has grow to be the heartland of the gin tonic—drop the “and” in Spain—so the rustic’s Gin Mare is a logical selection. Joanna Chippie of New York’s Town Stages pairs the gin with Q Indian Tonic for her Spanish Gin Tonic.

Photograph Credit score: Beefeater

“Gin Mare is advanced, filled with herbaceousness and salinity, whilst Q Indian Tonic with all its citrusy vibrancy is the very best supplement to the gin to create a balanced, bubbly g&t,” she says. “I choose to make use of the huge ice dice, because it helps to keep the cocktail completely chilled in this kind of cavernous glass whilst permitting the gin and tonic to in reality shine and keep away from too-quick dilution.”

Be sure to have a right kind goblet or balloon glass with a purpose to create a right kind Spanish gin tonic. Upload in 1.five oz. of Gin Mare to that giant ice dice, best with Q Indian tonic. Garnish with a load of seasonal herbs and culmination—Chippie seems to contemporary rosemary, mandarin orange, dehydrated lemon, and olives.

Eire

Eire could also be house to a rising selection of gins, together with Conncullin Gin from the Connacht Whiskey Corporate.  Jeff Bejima of Baltimore’s Clock Restoration became to a private reminiscence for his inspiration for an autumnal gin and tonic made with Irish gin.

“After visiting Eire right through the autumn of 2010, I recalled the smells of the small cities I traveled via,” Bejima says. “The odor of peat burning used to be very welcoming and comforting. I felt a bar spoon of peaty whiskey helped to bridge the distance between summer time and fall.”

Upload two oz. of Conncullin Gin to a Collins glass with a bar spoon every of honey, lemon juice, and Connemara Irish Whiskey. Best with 2 dashes orange bitters and a pinch of salt.

However don’t finish your international travels there. One of the vital maximum intriguing gins as of late are from nontraditional nations: Germany (Monkey 47), Australia (Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz), and New Zealand (The Source Gin) are only a few examples. There’s an international of gin to discover, and we propose you get shifting.
