Combining the East Block 200 gin, L’Opera bitter orange, and Rubis Vermouth, this blend ‘The Count’ pays tribute to the classic Negroni.
Featuring all organic botanicals, the Count is a luscious and spicy assemblage of aromatic gin, fragrant Seville and Navel oranges, dark fruits, dried herbs and warm spice. The palate is smooth and round with a pleasant, lingering bitterness.
Sophisticated, yet simple, The Count is ready to serve. Pour cold over a single large ice cube and garnish with an orange twist.
As an aperitif or companion to a variety of fish, white meat or vegetarian meals including milder curries or salads, this rose works well. It is both fruity (melon, berry notes) to start and slightly acidic at the finish. It is simply pleasurable drinking at a reasonable price and has become something of a personal favourite.
