On the contrary, it is Gin at its best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #800080;\">\u00a0He tells me that this year he has brought more stock as they sold out on the second day of the festival last year, so popular was this spirit at its Melbourne debut. Also at the stand helping Amal to pour and story-tell were Bryce Jamie (Australian Distributor, Exquisite Liquors), and British-born and Sri Lankan resident Graham Merricks (International Marketing)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #800080;\">This beautiful Gin story started in Sri Lanka 70 years ago during the British occupation of Sri Lanka. The Rockland Gin company (the first distillery in Sri Lanka and maker of Ceylon Arrack) was commissioned to supply the British with their spirits, which were manufactured in Sri Lanka using European botanicals, but during the Second World War, when these ingredients were hard to come by, the spirit makers were forced to turn their minds to a recipe derived from local Sri Lankan ingredients. Thus was born Colombo No.7 and the rest is history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #800080;\">Colombo No.7 Gin is the first Asian-made, handcrafted Gin of its kind, which at the time of its concoction, stunned the British Excise Officers at the realisation that such a good Gin could be produced outside of the UK, so much so that they passed a law \u201cCeylon Made Foreign Liquor (CMFL)\u201d allowing non-native spirits to be made in South Asia and exported around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #800080;\">Today, Colombo No.7 Gin is produced in the UK, but the Gin remains true to his grandfather Founder Carl de Silva Wijeratne\u2019s original recipe, still handcrafted in small batches using copper pot stills. Over the years the company tried to improve the recipe but found that Amal\u2019s grandfather had already perfected it, and so the original recipe remains today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #800080;\">Like me, you will be blown away with the aroma and the subtle spices that will tantalise your taste buds until the smooth flavours of the juniper and other ingredients of this beautifully balanced Gin kick in to hit your senses and linger. You know then you are on to something special.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #800080;\">Tasting note: Good accompaniment with spicy foods, G&amp;T and other bitters. Recommend garnishing with citrus\/orange peel, even peppercorns, and serve on ice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #800080;\">Bottling note: \u00a0500 ml and 700 ml sizes, 43.1% ABV, costs range from $47 to $55 for the small size and $67.50 to $75 for the large size.
