-20%Pour this and the first thing that hits you is pine. Big, bracing, unapologetic juniper, the way gin tasted before everyone started crowding the bottle with rose petals and cucumber. Gin MG keeps it simple and bone dry, with a little anise lift and a warm cinnamon glow on the way out. Crack it tonight when you want a G&T that actually tastes like gin, no fuss, delivered to your door before the ice melts.
The nose is brisk and green, all juniper and a faint liquorice-like anise, like walking past a pine tree on a cool morning. Take a sip and it's dry and clean, with a citrus brightness running underneath the pine, lemon and orange peel more than anything sweet. The finish is where it gets interesting: a soft dusting of cinnamon spice that lingers and keeps it warm rather than sharp. No sugar, no fruity gimmicks, just a confident classic gin doing its thing.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Gin MG comes from Destilerías MG, a family-run distillery in Spain that's been at this since 1835 and started making gin back in 1940, one of the first Spanish houses to do it. The MG is for Manuel Girò, the founder, and five generations on they're still running his original recipe. The clever bit: the gin leans on juniper from the distillery's own trees, hand-picked off their estate in the Teruel hills, which is why the pine flavour tastes so pure and front-and-centre.
