Staple Gin Review
After an exclusive, pre-release tasting of this gin from distiller Brian Facquet and chef Rachael Ray. VinPair can say one thing is clear: This soon-to-debut release deserves to be on your radar. London Dry drinkers will delight in its profile and be dazzled by the clarity of its aromas and flavors. More interestingly, those notes develop and evolve, allowing each botanical an equal opportunity to shine solo. There's also the texture: Facquet told VinePair he and Ray tried to capture the moment of enjoying a Castelveltrano olive. It's a pretty esoteric ambition and a strange concept to wrap your mind around. But sample this gin and it's immediately apparent they nailed their brief. Bravo!
