Poetic License Distillery's gin creations in the past have included everything from espresso-flavored spirits to Cherry and Basil Gin—and its newest limited-edition variety is just as experimental as its previous releases.
Just 500 bottles of the Sweet Bell Pepper and Naga Chilli Rarity Gin will be produced, delivering a unique smoky-sweet expression with what is described as a "velvety smooth mouthfeel with gentle heat." Although chiles that rank high on the Scoville scale are included in the gin, the heat is said to be much milder than expected, allowing drinkers to truly appreciate the flavor without being overwhelmed with spiciness.
The Rarities is a range of one-off experimental releases, which appeals to those who are looking for one-of-a-kind, absolutely memorable experiences with flavor.
