About this deal

This gin uses a blend of eight botanicals a few of which are, juniper berries, angelica root, coriander, licorice, and of course violet. This combination creates a scent that is smooth and quite floral. But if you’re looking to experiment a bit more with this gin, you should definitely try a negroni! Two Birds Parma Violet Gin Say chin chin with our fabulous collection of gin. If you love a classic G&T, get your hands on your favourite gin brand, and don't forget the tonic water. And of course, grab some limes too. If you don't have a favourite brand, try a variety before making your mind up. Our gin miniatures are great way to sample our range of brands and flavours. You’ll also find the right gin glass from our glassware collection. Most of the time the parma violet is used in infusion with gins. The parma violet belongs to the exotic branch of the violet family. Most of these parma violets grow lavender flowers which have a striking fragrance. 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.

The Steampunk Explorer range of flavoured gins is quite unique because it has been distilled specifically for B&M. Three different flavours have been brought to us by Steampunk Spirits, but their Steampunk Explorer Blood Orange Gin is one of our personal favourites.

Profile

The parma violet is so popular due to the well-known British sweets from Swizzels Matlow called Parma Violets. Gins that use the parma violet often try to resemble the taste of these popular British sweets as closely as possible. Mrs Cuthbert’s British Gin Liqueurs are dessert flavoured gin liqueur specialists, with their gins being hand-crafted to resonate family recipes that have been passed down over several decades. Their introduction of famous classic cake recipes into the world of gin is certain to please any gin drinker with a sweet tooth. 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.

It’s amazing to drink this gin neat due to the very present classic gin taste, but this drink will also work great in a spritz if it’s mixed with prosecco. This gin is really sweet and is therefore amazing for drinking neat. You could also create a sweet ‘Pamplemousse spritz’ with this gin if it’s mixed with Aperol and pink grapefruit soda garnished with some grapefruit. Violet gins are a lot less juniper-forward than standard gins and are also without a doubt a lot sweeter than a more basic gin like a London dry gin. TW Kempton Parma Violet Gin is actually a gin liqueur but it is definitely not as sweet as you may expect a liqueur to be. It’s true, this drink is sweeter than most of the other gins on this list, but the juniper notes are actually still very much present in this drink.

J.J. Whitley Violet Gin Details

As we mentioned above, this type of gin is infused with flowers from the violet family. Infusion with violet flowers creates a very distinguishable scent and flavor and often this infusion also leads to the violet hue that violet gins have. Another thing that makes Whitley Neill stand out from most flavored gins is that all their gins have an ABV of 43%. This means that all of their spirits are still mostly focused on creating a gin instead of just a sweetened drink with a bit of alcohol in it. 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.

The only thing they have to keep in mind is that the predominant flavor in a gin has to come from the juniper berry (if you want to know why that is, we explain that in this article). Buy Mrs Cuthbert’s Lemon Drizzle Cake Gin Liqueur 6. Steampunk Explorer Rhubarb Gin Steampunk Rhubarb

Steampunk Explorer Blood Orange Gin Steampunk Blood Orange This means that the strong alcohol taste will be a lot lower than some other violet gins. This combined with the sweet violets that have been added to this gin makes for a strong sweetness. Even though the violet gin is a bit sweeter due to the added violets combined with orange and lavender, you still get that great gin-specific piney juniper taste with this gin. From an ever-so-appealing Battenberg cake to a traditional Bakewell tart; it’s easy to see a pattern emerging with a selection of gins that perfectly encapsulate the recognisable flavours of British treats. Playing host? Our range of flavoured gins is sure to get the party started. Whether you prefer a classic dry gin or want to add some colour with pink gin, we’ve got a wide variety to choose from. Just some of the flavours we offer include summery strawberry, peach and mango.
