I didn't know I wanted a gin I could wear or drink (its 151 proof so it's really more of a cocktail flavoring agent), but turns out I do. Steven Grasse (really!) of Tamworth Distilling says his new Sylvan Mist tells "...the story of our local flora in the form of the most floral spirit possible: gin. Sylvan Mist sings the song of the flowers and the forest as both a gin mist and perfume. It’s an unfolding bouquet.” It will be $80 for 100 ml. Read more at VinePair or see The World’s First Wearable Gin Smells Like Honeydew, Forest, and Fresh-Cut Grass at Food & Wine. You can pre-order (it debuts next month) at Seelbach's.
Expensive for gin but a bargain for perfume, and it’s nice to see someone carrying on the old tradition of drinkable fragrances (even if it’s meant only to be sprayed over a cocktail as a garnish).
It’s not a bad price, but it’s still too expensive to use as the base for a cocktail anyway — even if you wanted to drink 151 😉
Ah, two of my favorite things combined!
