SMWS GN3.23 Forage for Spruce Tips is a distinctive single cask Scottish gin from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, distilled on April 6, 2022, and matured in a first-fill ex-bourbon barrel. Originating from Scotland's Lowlands, this limited release comprises just 261 bottles and is presented at 50% ABV. Its aromatic profile evokes a woodland landscape, combining earthy botanicals, fragrant herbs, vibrant citrus and subtle sweetness. With its unusual cask influence and layered character, Forage for Spruce Tips offers a fascinating exploration of mature gin beyond traditional styles.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with herb-roasted chicken, grilled salmon, creamy goat cheese, rosemary crackers, roasted almonds and citrus-marinated olives. Its botanical freshness also complements mushroom dishes, lemon tart and dishes featuring thyme or fresh herbs.
Tasting Notes: An expressive, woodland-inspired gin featuring earthy florals, spruce tips, red berries, fragrant herbs and gentle spice. Sweet pear, candied almonds and bright citrus balance its savoury botanical character.
Nose: Earthy and aromatic, with primrose, forest-floor notes, nutmeg, liquorice and candied almonds. Adding water reveals juniper, thyme, oregano and fresh citrus peel.
Palate: Fresh spruce tips and red berries develop into soft pear mousse and rosemary-infused chocolate. With water, bright citrus emerges alongside woody herbal notes reminiscent of marjoram.
Finish: Lingering woodland herbs, citrus zest and gentle spice, with a refreshing botanical character.
