There is just something about craft gin which makes it all so special. Wilderers Fynbos gin is a unique craft blend that redefines smoothness.
It is overwhelmingly medicinal to the nose, with the fynbos bringing floral undertones and anise qualities not dissimilar to off brand cough medicine.
Despite its exotic makeup, there is something oddly familiar about the smell – a hint of ores, perhaps, and the vague sense of a rapeseed meadow on a warm spring day.
To taste, the aniseed aspect comes across stronger. It reminds us of those thick, chewy liquorice sweets, but the citrus notes prevents it from becoming full blown.
It has hint of spice that leaves behind that familiar fynbos led aftertaste.
With tonic, the spice is calmed but the gin is unleashed, blooming and booming in the mouth to bring a strong, strange but ultimately delicious taste.
It's almost impossible to decipher what is doing what and where as the fynbos is so uniquely South African.
There are cooling hints of eucalyptus alongside shrubbery conspiring to create something that is superb..
The gin comes in a short, clear, apothecary style bottle. It's a simple package.
