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.
The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
Took a punt on the 2011 Kairos Sauvignon Blanc & was pleasantly surprised at the drinkability of aged Sauv, I do not usually drink Sauvignon Blanc's but after drinking the Kairos I will drink more.
A little bit of pungency evident upon opening and best to let it breath for 30 minutes or so and the pungency dissipated and then the wine started to show its best - good fruit, vanilla/oak, balance and elegance!
