Blood Monkey Spice Storm Gin

Spice Storm is the spiced expression from Blood Monkey, the Irish gin brand launched in 2020 by Outcast Brands, the company of Dublin entrepreneur Jason Kidd. Like the original, it is distilled in Cork in a genever-inspired style on a malted Irish barley base. For the second distillation, Seville oranges and cardamom are added to the still to give this version its character.

The result is a zesty, warming gin: bitter-sweet Seville orange up front, then aromatic cardamom and a spicy kick, all carried on a soft, malty base. Blood Monkey is designed to be drunk ice-cold and neat as a sipping gin, so try it straight from the freezer. It also makes a lively gin and ginger ale with an orange wedge, or a twist on an Old Fashioned.
