There is no such thing as an ‘Asian parsnip’. Parsnips do not grow in Asia, and are unknown in that region’s culinary canon. Rather, this gin combines the homely flavour of that most English of root vegetables with the gastric stimulus of spices from India. It is a comfort and a thrill in equal measure, and is officially acknowledged as a vital component of UK multi-culturalism.
Tasting Notes: Parsnip, a humble vegetable valued by Romans and hated by schoolchildren - was used historically as a sweetener and has a uniquely nutty profile. Combined with spices of the Far East – ginger and green cardamom – Asian Parsnip is a warming gin with lingering light sweet notes.
