Product Information

Another difference in flavors between violet gins could come from the different kinds of violets used. As we’ve said before, most violet gins use parma violet, but not all of them do. In this violet gin, you’ll definitely get the amazing aroma of violet flowers. It contains sweet notes of violet and orange, but this is perfectly balanced with strong juniper notes and other more subtle botanicals like coriander and licorice.

At first, you taste delicate and sweet violet flavors followed by the piney taste of the juniper berries. Their base gin, the Yorkshire dry gin, contains hints of sweet orange and floral lavender alongside a spicy, piney juniper. These notes translate very well to their violet 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. 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.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.

A violet gin is almost always a brand’s own standard gin but with added violets to the last distillation step. The base recipe is slightly altered so the flavor pallet balances well with the floral flavors from violet. The base gin gets a bit more of a floral taste and becomes relatively sweet.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 Artful Pour is a more expensive premium gin brand with a lot of great quality gins. They distill gins like English rhubarb pink grapefruit to passion fruit which are all based on their Yorkshire dry gin. 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.

Whitley Neill is a sister company to the aforementioned J.J. Whitley. Just like J.J. Whitley, Whitley Neill specializes in flavored gins. TW Kempton is a relatively cheap alcohol brand that is only sold at some places. But don’t get fooled by this. Their drinks are actually quite good, especially for these prices! 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. 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. Since then they have expanded to 15 different gins ranging from blood orange & cranberry gin to chocolate mint gin to coconut and lime gin.

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. The first gin on the list is the violet gin from J.J. Whitley. J.J. Whitley is a brand that is well-known for making flavored gins and vodkas. The Whitley family has been distilling these spirits since 1762, so they’re bound to have a ton of experience.

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. If you’re not extremely into sweet drinks then mixing it with a neutral tonic is also a great option while the floral violet notes will still be very much present. Zymurgorium Sweet Violet Gin LiqueurThe Parma Violet version of their gin is quite floral on the nose. There’s a light taste of Parma Violets sweets with hints of rose petals and lemon peel. The juniper-forward flavor is still very present in this gin. 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.
