Fresha Strawberry Gin: A Taste of Summer in Every Sip

Freshen up your gin repertoire with Fresha Strawberry Gin, a delightful spirit distilled in the sun-drenched Andalusian region of southern Spain. This award-winning gin boasts a unique flavour profile that captures the essence of summer berries, making it a refreshing choice for both gin connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.

A Blend of Nature’s Bounty:

Fresha Strawberry Gin is a meticulous blend of botanicals, each playing a vital role in its delightful character. The star of the show, of course, is the inclusion of fresh strawberries from Huelva, Spain. These sun-ripened berries lend a burst of sweetness and a juicy aroma that instantly sets Fresha apart from traditional gins.

Balancing the Sweetness:

To prevent the gin from becoming overly sweet, the strawberries are expertly balanced with a selection of classic gin botanicals. Juniper berries, the backbone of any gin, provide a foundation of piney earthiness. Seville orange and lemon peels add a touch of citrus zest, while clementine peel offers a hint of floral sweetness.

Aromatic Complexity:

The complexity doesn’t stop there. Cardamom and star anise introduce subtle notes of spice, while coriander adds a touch of warmth and peppery depth. Angelica root, known for its earthy and herbaceous character, rounds out the profile, creating a harmonious interplay of flavours.

Tasting Fresha Strawberry Gin:

On the Nose:

The first impression of Fresha Strawberry Gin is undeniably inviting. A wave of fresh strawberry fragrance fills the air, mingling with subtle hints of citrus and juniper. The aroma is clean and vibrant, with no artificial sweetness or overpowering alcohol notes.

On the Palate:

The initial sip delivers a burst of juicy strawberry flavour, perfectly balanced by the zesty citrus and earthy juniper. The sweetness is restrained, allowing the other botanicals to shine through. As the gin lingers on the tongue, the warming spices of cardamom and coriander emerge, adding a touch of complexity. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a lingering hint of strawberry and a subtle juniper dryness.
