Silent Pool
Gin
Specification
Bottle — 700 ml
A gin named for the Silent Pool, and it drinks quietly rather than loudly: juniper is present but soft-edged, with a rounded citrus middle and a faint sweetness before a dry, peppery finish. At 43% it holds its shape in water without turning thin or hot.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, 1:2 gin to tonic
Garnish — Grapefruit twist
Martini
gin · dry vermouth · lemon
Stirred cold with dry vermouth, strained, lemon twist.
Why this gin — The restrained, Silent Pool style of juniper won't shout over vermouth, and 43% ABV gives the stirred drink enough spine when chilled.
