Abrojo Gin Dry Gin Ancestral Review
If you've ever tried to make a Martini with mezcal and found the spirit's smoky flavor too overpowering, then this gin is a must-try. Made using spent agave fiber that has been refermented with wild yeast and spring water, this gin retains much of the smoky character of mezcal. However, juniper is also a prominent player on the palate, along with a range of vibrant and fresh botanicals like hoja santa, lemongrass, and lemon verbena. This unique combination of ingredients results in a gin that is perfectly balanced, offering a smoky depth alongside bright and lively notes of juniper and other botanicals. Whether you're a gin enthusiast looking to try something new, or a mezcal lover looking to branch out, this gin will definitely impress.
