Whitley Neill Parma Violet Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Here at Craft Gin Club, we pride ourselves on creating the Perfect G&T for our members each and every month, carefully selecting the ideal tonic to match with the Gin of the Month, and then choosing a garnish to add the final complementary touch to your gin and tonic.

This variety is mainly due to the fact that gin distillers all have a different base gin to create their violet gin with. Some gins are for instance more juniper-forward than others and will therefore taste more piney. The parma violet is so popular due to the well-known British sweets from Swizzels Matlow called Parma Violets. Gins that use the parma violet often try to resemble the taste of these popular British sweets as closely as possible. Zymurgorium prides itself on experimenting with flavors and striving for great new tastes in all sorts of drinks and food products. These products range from cheeses to syrups, to crafty beers and gins.

It’s amazing to drink this gin neat due to the very present classic gin taste, but this drink will also work great in a spritz if it’s mixed with prosecco. Inspired by Italian aromatic flowers, subtle floral notes infuse the gin base for a vibrant and elegant taste. This gin should be served traditionally in a gin and tonic. The tonic tones down the heat of the peppery flavors this gin brings and makes for an amazing but stronger version of a gin and tonic compared to others on this list.

Solway Spirits is a small-batch craft distillery located in South West Scotland. They use British suppliers for great quality ingredients. This brand may not be extremely well-known, but their gins are amazing. Due to the strong and remarkable scent and flavor lavender has, it is used a ton in gin, but also in fragrances. What Does A Violet Gin Taste Like This gin uses a blend of eight botanicals a few of which are, juniper berries, angelica root, coriander, licorice, and of course violet. This combination creates a scent that is smooth and quite floral. Aside from pink and blood orange gins, a new kind of gin called violet gin has been popping up more and more at different brands over the past few years. As all of us gin drinkers will know, the garnish you choose for your favourite gin and tonic can make a world of difference to the taste (for better or worse….!). The problem is, they never taught us at school how to find the perfect gin and tonic garnish (funny, that!).At first, you taste delicate and sweet violet flavors followed by the piney taste of the juniper berries. For some people, more experienced gin drinkers mainly, this means that they won’t like the drinking experience of a violet gin, because they enjoy the bitterness and the juniper-forward taste that gins normally have to offer. On the nose, this drink has lots of floral violet notes. The taste is floral as well with a touch of vanilla. This gin finishes with subtle peppery juniper notes.
