Vernal is its springtime release: each year the team hand-cuts and processes several hundred pounds of fresh horseradish root into the batch. Straight from the bottle the heat is intense and mustard-like, tickling the nose and palate; in a cocktail it settles into a savory, earthy character. The base gin spearheads juniper through a mélange of coriander, cardamom, and cinnamon, with cubeb berries lending pepper and a hint of ginger on the finish, and lemon and orange peel rounding out subtle licorice and almond notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intense, spicy wasabi-like horseradish heat with mustard-like pungency\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDiluted \/ mixed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mellows to a round, vegetal earthiness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBase profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juniper, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cubeb pepper, citrus peel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Letherbee Distillers, Chicago, Illinois\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seasonal Horseradish Gin (limited release) — 11-botanical base\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96 (48% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neutral grain base; pot-still maceration; un-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gin\"\u003egin at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat makes Vernal Gin different?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is Letherbee’s seasonal release infused with fresh horseradish, giving a spicy, wasabi-like heat on top of the flagship 11-botanical gin base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeat, it has an intense mustard-like horseradish pungency; diluted or mixed, it mellows into a round, vegetal earthiness over a juniper-and-spice gin backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow should I drink it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt shines in savory cocktails — a Red Snapper (a Bloody Mary made with gin) or a Dirty Martini variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What makes Vernal Gin different?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is Letherbee's seasonal release infused with fresh horseradish, giving a spicy, wasabi-like heat on top of the flagship 11-botanical gin base.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does it taste like?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Neat, it has an intense mustard-like horseradish pungency; diluted or mixed, it mellows into a round, vegetal earthiness over a juniper-and-spice gin backbone.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should I drink it?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It shines in savory cocktails — a Red Snapper (a Bloody Mary made with gin) or a Dirty Martini variation.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Letherbee Distillers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42903960748103,"sku":"SK 860148000177","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/letherbee-distillers-vernal-gin.jpg?v=1782414276","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/letherbee-distillers-vernal-gin","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
