Finn's Gin Chicago Distillery 750mL
Finn's Gin Chicago Distillery 750mL - Finn’s Gin is one of the products carefully made on the very popular stretch of Milwaukee Avenue, in North Western Chicago’s achingly hip Logan Square area by Chicago Distilling Company. Finn's Gin is made from a corn based neutral spirit which they buy in to macerate botanicals such as Sichuan peppercorn, dried orange peel, green cardamom, hibiscus, juniper, coriander, cassia and cubeb. Following maceration, Finn's is re-distilled to recover the clear gin spirit.
With a blend of juniper and aromatic botanicals, even the most discerning gin enthusiast will be pleasantly surprised. 45% ABV

Finn's Gin Chicago Distillery Tasting Notes: To the nose, piquancy issues an immediate attack; Szechuan peppercorns are not ones for polite knocking, instead they kick the door down and jump straight into the action. Hibiscus brings a subtle floral hint if you are attuned to the flavour, but it is the green cardamom that is as present as if you were rolling a seed pod between your fingers.
The botanicals rush for the tongue all at once, treating the drinker to a fiery, slightly floral cacophony. Citrus comes through, but cardamom heavy spice dominates. The spirit is undoubtedly well made and smooth at 45% and there is some juniper in there, but it’s on the progressive, modern side of Gin if you will…
We found that the fiery Sichuan pepper and cardamom hit were well suited to an orange slice in a G&T, but also made Finn’s Gin an interesting choice in a Gimlet. The gin’s slightly higher proof and pronounced flavours carry well in both.
