Whitley Neill Parma Violet Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

The name Zymurgorium comes from the words Zymurgy and Emporium. Zymurgy is the scientific study of brewing and an emporium is a shop that sells items. Zymurgorium stands for the sale of brews and distilled drinks.

For others, however, this added sweetness and less bitterness may mean that they might actually like a gin for the first time.

For some people, more experienced gin drinkers mainly, this means that they won’t like the drinking experience of a violet gin, because they enjoy the bitterness and the juniper-forward taste that gins normally have to offer.

This variety is mainly due to the fact that gin distillers all have a different base gin to create their violet gin with. Some gins are for instance more juniper-forward than others and will therefore taste more piney. Due to the fact that there are so many different botanicals to choose from, a new craze arose in the gin market over the past few years. The popularity of fruity and colorful gins like pink gin and blood orange gin has increased a ton recently.

Flavored and colored gins have been all the craze for the last couple of years. Their popularity has been rising steadily and so the popularity of violet gins has been increasing a lot as well. The blend of botanicals used for their gins consists of juniper, coriander, orris root, angelica, orange peel, licorice, and a few others. They infuse their Classic Gin with violets to try to resemble the Parma Violets sweets as closely as possible. Even though all violet gins contain the violet flower, there’s a ton of variety in taste pallets between violet gins from different brands. Other gins might make use of more unique botanicals like ginger for example which will create a different flavor pallet compared to a more standard gin.

Solway succeeded in their goal to recreate the taste of Parma Violets sweets. This gin has a very deep aroma of sweet violets. The taste is also quite sweet and floral but doesn’t overpower the spicy and piney juniper berries. Whether you prefer a citrus gin, a classic gin, or a spicy, herbaceous or floral gin, you’ll find our suggestions on the right garnish to complement the flavour of your gin and tonic. The Whitley family used to patrol through their gardens while looking for the best and newest flavors to use in their spirits.This also goes for Whitley Neills Parma Violet Gin. Some people may be a bit disappointed about the fact that this parma violet gin doesn’t exactly resemble the taste of the Parma Violets sweets, but that is not what you should expect from this drink. This gin should be served traditionally in a gin and tonic. The tonic tones down the heat of the peppery flavors this gin brings and makes for an amazing but stronger version of a gin and tonic compared to others on this list. To sterilise your jars and bottles, put your clean jars in a low oven for at least half an hour. Carefully remove your jars from the oven (they will be incredibly hot) and allow them to cool down. Pour in your gin, I suggest you use a jug and a funnel for this. Their base gin for the Parma Violet gin is a multi-award-winning London Dry gin. This gin is an amazing spirit. It’s really smooth and crisp with great notes of juniper berries. As the name may suggest, this is a relatively sweet version of a violet gin. First of all, it’s a gin liqueur which means that the Alcohol by Volume (ABV) of the gin is allowed to be lower than 37.5%. This drink has an ABV of 20%.
