Tasting Notes:
Nose: The nose is fresh with dominant juniper and tropical fruit notes, especially papaya and dragon fruit, along with a subtle sweet note. The lively interplay is completed by a fine, bitter base characteristic.
Palate: The palate is complex and layered with fruity notes of exotic fruits, followed by a slight bitterness and sweetness, while the coca leaves clearly dominate. Additionally, pleasantly mild, creamy notes of papaya and the zesty acidity of physalis are noticeable.
Finish: The finish is medium-long and complex, characterized by lingering fruitiness as well as hints of vermouth and pepper.
Distillery/Bottler: Amuerte is produced by Barchitect, a company that distills the gin in Belgium. The Amuerte brand is the result of the craftsmanship of the Massy family from Heusden-Zolder, who create a unique gin with carefully selected botanical ingredients. With Amuerte, the tradition of gin distillation is combined with modern and exotic flavors.
