Birdie Shiso Gin Description

Birdie Shiso Gin is a masterful French distilled gin that elegantly marries the distinctive herbal freshness of shiso leaf (Perilla) with classic juniper and a vibrant bouquet of botanicals including hibiscus, Tasmanian pepper berries, citrus zest, and coriander. This 44% ABV gin offers a complex sensory experience: its nose reveals bright citrus notes of lemon, lime, and orange intertwined with floral hibiscus and a subtle spicy kick from Tasmanian pepper berries. On the palate, the herbal and floral layers unfold with a refined, clean character, highlighted by the aromatic shiso leaf's unique minty and anise-like nuances. Awarded the Gold Medal at the 2023 World Gin Awards for its bold and original botanical signature, Birdie Shiso Gin stands out as a sophisticated and refreshing spirit, perfect for sipping neat or elevating cocktails with its nuanced flavors.

The large ice cube minimizes dilution, preserving the gin's complex flavors. Slapping the shiso leaf before garnishing releases its essential oils, intensifying the herbal aroma.

Instructions

In a chilled highball glass, place a large, clear ice cube to maintain the integrity of the drink.

Pour 5 cl of Birdie Shiso Gin over the ice, allowing its herbal and floral notes to unfold.

Top with 15 cl of Le Tribute Tonic Water, chosen for its dry profile that complements the gin's citrus and shiso leaf nuances.

Gently stir to integrate.

Garnish with a fresh shiso leaf, gently slapped to release its aromatic oils, and a thin twist of lemon zest to enhance the citrus bouquet.

For alternative pairings, consider East Imperial Yuzu Tonic or Fentimans Oriental Yuzu Tonic.

Un profil trop végétal et particulier pour moi. Les notes de Shiso sont très dominantes et ne plairont pas à tout le monde.
