Fresh, clean orange blossom notes immediately bring to mind a Ramos gin fizz. If that is your drink, St. George Valley is the gin. After trying it at home over the course of a few days, my favorite easy-peasy way to drink it is with tonic or as a martini with an orange twist and buttery, briny Castelvetrano olives. Full disclosure—I got the Castelvetrano olive idea from the lovely and amazing Dejah Overby during a staff tasting at the SF store. She has an incredible palate. But back to the gin—it’s soft and botanical. In addition to orange blossom, I pick up hints of citrus and honeycomb. There’s no honeycomb in the distillate but somehow the mélange of 25 botanicals listed below combine to form that sensation on my palate. While everyone’s palate is unique, I’m confident that delicate orange blossom and citrus notes will be unmistakable. As for the rest, the experience will be uniquely yours. If you enjoy soft, refreshing, small-batch botanical gin that’s dangerously drinkable, this is fantastic. If you’re a fan of resinous London dry-style gins, I’d recommend another one of my favorites from St. George—Terroir—which makes one the best old-school G&Ts ever. And as mentioned above, here’s the list of Valley’s 25 botanicals to help your imagination run wild: orange blossom, angelica root, Bergamot orange, caraway, fresh cilantro, California bay laurel, cardamom, coriander, fresh cucumber, fresh dill, dill seed, fennel seed, fresh ginger, grapefruit, juniper, lemon, lime, Malabar black pepper, nutmeg, orris root, pink peppercorn, Saigon cinnamon, Seville orange, star anise, and Valencia orange….whew!
