Broken Dimanche Press is delighted to continue its haptic, body centered poetry series with a new edition of craft gin housed in bottles home to original poetry. These gins, rich in evocative flavours and lovingly made, are paired with poems of dense lucidity, the creation of Marcus O’Shea. His Alchemist series of gin is continued with the second through to seventh of the new gins. All bottles can be bought separately or collectively housed in a bespoke case. 

The tasting notes are as follows.

Pines and Pines (#002) - a strong profile of pine fresh juniper and a gentle bath of tea leaf smoke

I Will I Will (#003) - Strong and bright citrus peel notes with a floral burst of hibiscus and Andalusian rose

The Sea Rose Up (#004)- Sea botanicals and a vapour bath of salt and tea tree recall the scent of ocean mist

Yellow (#005) - An eccentric and electric mix of exotic spices with an infusion of rich saffron

Spices/Water/Flowers (#006)- Wild rosemary plucked from a Spanish castle lends a fresh and pungent counterpoint to the soft bouquets of wild lavender.
