Explorers Grand Slam Gin, the Inspirational Spirit, is inspired by Sir David Hempleman-Adams, who completed the first Explorers Grand Slam by walking to the geographical and magnetic North and South Poles and climbing the highest summit on all seven continents. The idea of fellow adventurer Phil Kite, founder of the Adventurers Drinks Company, it embraces its inspirational back story with its unique flavour coming from the botanicals found in each of the seven continents including Juniper, Coriander, Thyme and Orris from Europe, Angelica from North America, Liquorice from Africa, Cassia Bark Cardamon and Bay Leaf and from Asia, Batak Pepper from Australasia, Lemon and Orange from South America, Sea Salt from the Antarctic. Crafted on the classical foundations of Juniper and Coriander its unique flavour come from Thyme that adds a subtle, earthy, and minty taste to gin, with a slight sweetness. Orris which acts as a base flavour note that binds and stabilises the flavours of the other botanicals in the gin, whilst also providing a floral aroma and a sweet, woody taste that is similar to liquorice. Angelica with slightly bitter and herbal tones, that helps flavour and aroma compounds from other botanicals bind with the alcohol leading to a more flavourful gin. Liquorice which adds a subtly sweet, earthy, and spiced taste. Cassia Bark which complements the Liquorice adding a light warm and delicate spice to the gin. Cardamon, a fragrant spice with a fresh, citrusy aroma and a sweet spicy flavour. Bay leaf, often likened to oregano and thyme, with its slightly medicinal, aromatic flavour, that works well with warming spices. Batak Pepper that with its warm and savoury pepperiness releases powerful citrus notes reminiscent of pink grapefruit and crushed mandarin leaves. Lemon and Orange that adds an additional zest. Sea Salt that helps balance the botanicals giving it a soft, slightly sweet maritime flavour. Together they produce a fragrant, aromatic, and slightly peppery spicy gin with citrus notes, a truly Inspirational Spirit, encapsulating its adventurous origins.
