Corner 53 “Umami” Butternut & Shiitake Gin

If we are honest, Umami is the product of a rather drunken conversation, but aren’t all the best ideas. They wanted to create something rich and earthy, as more gins move to sweeter flavours, and wanted to go the other way.

Umami is the fifth flavour can taste on the palate, described as a rich, savoury flavour, and Corner 53 went big. Roasted butternut, shiitake mushroom, sun dried tomatoes, rosemary, olive oil, they all go into our still, and come out the other side absolutely beautiful. Rich, earthy, pure funk, with so much competing to be in charge, each new flavour complements the last.
