The Canna Co. 'The Myrcene' Hemp Gin 700ml

96 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

"A less botanical, more herbaceous gin on account of the addition of hemp terpenes - on a gin scale, it would be low juniper, mid-citrus, and high herb (no pun intended). Although the cassia element is quite prominent as a botanical on the nose - which is what suggests a bubblegum essence - there is only a slight hint of pine and juniper, with the symphony being made up mostly of its "bouquet garni" type pungency. Think rosemary, sage, kawakawa, lavender, etc. Accenting this is a mid-palate hit of fresh lemon and orange zest. Our recommendation for serving would be paired with a premium tonic such as East Imperial Burma or Fever Tree Indian garnished with a wedge of lemon and/or a sprig of rosemary if on hand, as this would best bring out those mild botanicals to round out the flavour."

Lavender, pine forest and sage. Soft tones of violet interact on the palate with woodland flavours of rosemary and resin, cloves and woody spices. With a long complex finish and a rich mouthfeel, The Myrcene is perfect paired with a premium tonic.

Small-batch crafted in Healesville, this complex award-winning gin represents the marriage of past and future. The world’s first hemp-infused gin distilled with terpenes – The Myrcene, which is one of the aromatic compounds known as “terpenes” which is found in hemp/cannabis (fun fact: in hops, too!). In clinical trials, Myrcene has shown properties that can aid sleep, reduce pain and inflammation.
