Mirari Gin is a brand established by the Time Anchor Distillery, which holds the distinction of being the first craft distillery in Johannesburg, South Africa. The distillery prides itself on small-batch production, emphasizing artisanal craftsmanship and a commitment to community and innovation. The location, in the vibrant Maboneng precinct, adds a cultural richness to its operations, reflecting the energetic spirit of the area.
This gin is an excellent representation of South African botanicals, offering a unique take on the traditional gin experience. It's also noted for being sugar-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian-friendly, with no artificial flavorings or colorings, making it a conscientious choice for those with specific dietary preferences.
Nose:
The gin opens with a vibrant expression of fynbos which provides a unique and aromatic floral scent. This is complemented by refreshing citrus notes from sweet orange and subtle juniper hints.
Palate:
The taste follows through with the citrusy zest of sweet orange, enhanced by the earthy tones of fynbos. The juniper remains understated but provides a traditional gin backbone, harmonizing with a touch of rose geranium for a floral lift.
Finish:
The finish is warm and soothing, characterized by a combination of honeybush—a local herb akin to rooibos but sweeter—and a gentle juniper fade. The gin leaves a lingering botanical aftertaste that reflects its indigenous ingredients.
