Detailed Description
Russell Henry Malaysian Lime Gin is made using Russell Henry London Dry Gin. After distillation, the gin is steeped in the leaves and fruit of the limau purut, a type of lime native to Malaysia. They source the fruit from the exotic orchards of John Kirkpatrick in the San Joaquin Valley. The limau purut, which is often used in Malaysian and Indonesian cuisine, has a rough, bumpy skin and a robust, slightly tangy flavor.
