Peddlers is a rare Eastern gin inspired by the Shanghai underground. A diverse community of creators and artists, merchants and musicians, who push the boundaries of their craft.
Three kiwis spent three years with a master distiller, testing, perfecting and drinking. And set out on the task of making a gin as exotic as Shanghai itself. Double distilled and vapor infused in a copper alembic still, each organic ingredient is captured at its purest and freshest form. A time-worthy process, a gold medal winning recipe, eleven botanicals foraged and fused. Peddlers is meticulously crafted in small batches to ensure quality and flavor are never compromised. The organic botanicals are foraged from exotic locations such as Sichuan, Yunnan, Xinjiang and Gansu. The ingredients tell a story of the beauty and diversity of China and its unique natural flora.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
