KO Klub Coastal Spices Limited Edition Gin 750ml
Pour this and you're basically on a dhow off Lamu. It's a Kenyan craft gin that leads with creamy coconut and tangy tamarind, then hits you with warm cardamom and cassia spice over a proper hit of juniper. And it's navy strength, 57%, so it doesn't whisper. One sip and you get why people grab it for the night they actually want to remember. Want it tonight? We move fast, any hour.
The nose is the giveaway: juniper and coriander first, then warm cassia, clove and cardamom roll in with a squeeze of zesty lemon and a hit of tropical tamarind. Take a sip and it goes full coast. Creamy coconut and tangy tamarind up front, bright cardamom-and-cassia spice in the middle, all sitting on a classic juniper backbone so it still drinks like a real gin and not a dessert. The 57% adds heat and length, so the finish is long, with juniper and spice hanging around. Big, warm, a little exotic. Not shy.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is Kenyan Originals (the African Originals crew), the Nairobi outfit that distills with real, locally sourced botanicals instead of flavourings. Coastal Spices is the very first drop in their KO Klub Limited Edition series, where they release a new small-batch gin every couple of months. The whole thing is built around Lamu and the Swahili coast, which is exactly why you taste cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, black pepper, tamarind and coconut. Once a limited run sells out, that's it, so this isn't one that hangs around forever.
