Sharish Blue Gin is made by António Cuco in the Alentejo region of Portugal using local fruit and botanicals, such as juniper, coriander seed, liquorice, angelica root, Alentejo lemon peel, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, strawberry, raspberry and blue pea flower. It is bottled at 40% ABV and typically sells in the $30-50 range.
The nose of Sharish Blue Magic Gin is jammy with literal notes of strawberry jam, strawberry rhubarb pie filling and a hearty dash of ginger to round things out. Once sipped neat, Sharish Blue Magic Gin has some warm spicy notes that envelop the palate. Hints of cinnamon and raw ginger root. It’s somewhat sharp early, and earthy in warmth.
