Mistral Rosé Gin: The Pink Gin Perfect for Your Next Hour?
Mistral Rosé Gin is a delightful embodiment of the Provence region, presenting itself as an elegant and sophisticated pink gin. Made from Provencal grapes and infused with 12 botanicals, this gin strikes a perfect balance between refreshing citrus and nuanced herbal notes. Its light, dry profile defies its price point, making it feel more luxurious than expected.
On the nose, Mistral Rosé Gin greets you with a harmonious blend of basil, thyme, and pink peppercorn, evoking a Mediterranean garden after a light summer rain. The presence of mint and eucalyptus adds a cooling freshness that teases the senses, while subtle cardamom and orris root bring depth and intrigue.
The palate is where this gin truly shines. The initial sip is clean, with bright notes of pink grapefruit imparting a delicate sweetness and subtle tartness. This citrusy start gradually evolves into an herby medley, with rosemary and thyme standing out prominently. Fennel and grains of paradise lend a touch of spiciness, creating a layered and balanced experience. Mint and aniseed add a refreshing lift that rounds out the tasting profile.
The finish is smooth and long, characterized by a light, dry touch that leaves hints of eucalyptus and a whisper of pink peppercorn on the tongue. This sophisticated combination makes it ideal for sipping neat or mixing into a refreshing cocktail.
