Aura
Karbun Premium Istrian Dry Gin
Distilled by Aura Distillery.
Specification
Style — Istrian Dry Gin
Bottle — 750 ml
Juniper first, dry and clean, with the softer 39.2% giving a rounder, less peppery mouthfeel than most dry gins. Pine and a faint citrus lift, then a dry herbal finish that reads Mediterranean — the Istrian style at work. No sweetness, no heat; it sits light on the tongue.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic, 1:2 — a light hand, since at 39.2% the gin won't fight a heavier pour
Garnish — A wide strip of lemon peel
- 50 ml
- gin
- to top
- tonic water
- lime
Built over plenty of ice, topped with tonic, lime wedge.
Why this gin — At 39.2% this Istrian dry gin is too gentle to hold its shape in a Martini or Negroni; a long glass and a dry tonic let its juniper and herbal side carry.
