Their base gin for the Parma Violet gin is a multi-award-winning London Dry gin. This gin is an amazing spirit. It’s really smooth and crisp with great notes of juniper berries. The parma violet is so popular due to the well-known British sweets from Swizzels Matlow called Parma Violets. Gins that use the parma violet often try to resemble the taste of these popular British sweets as closely as possible.The Parma Violet version of their gin is quite floral on the nose. There’s a light taste of Parma Violets sweets with hints of rose petals and lemon peel. The juniper-forward flavor is still very present in this gin. Due to the strong and remarkable scent and flavor lavender has, it is used a ton in gin, but also in fragrances. What Does A Violet Gin Taste Like

Infusion with violet flowers creates a very distinguishable scent and flavor and often this infusion also leads to the violet hue that violet gins have.Violet gins are a lot less juniper-forward than standard gins and are also without a doubt a lot sweeter than a more basic gin like a London dry gin. So, let’s say you’re looking for flavour pairings for your fruity gin - perhaps a spirit using apple as one of the botanicals. The garnish wheel says you can use lemon or lime as your base garnish - but maybe you could jazz it up and add a second garnish: a sprig of mint, or some muddled sage, or a warming touch of star anise? Take a look at the botanicals in your gin to experiment and pull out what you think sounds delicious based on the flavour pairings in the wheel!
