James Gin California Dream (JG.05)
California Dream Gin is James May’s fifth glorious foray into gin-making, crafted as a loving (and mildly satirical) tribute to the spirit of 1970s California—the land of hippies, herbal teas, anti-establishment ideals, and questionable fashion choices.
Distilled with girolle mushrooms, oregano, and actual patchouli, this gin is as earthy and ethereal as a barefoot jam session in Golden Gate Park. The mushrooms lend a fruity, peppery character with subtle apricot sweetness, while patchouli adds a haunting woody aroma that lingers like a memory of incense in a Volkswagen camper van. Oregano provides a culinary counterpoint, deepening the herbal body and tying the coriander, lemon peel, and juniper together with a spicy twist.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Nose: Inviting and unconventional. Fresh oregano and citrus leap forward, quickly followed by an intriguing mix of forest-floor mushroom and soft patchouli incense. There’s a gentle sweetness akin to dried apricot and a resinous herbaceousness that balances floral and earthy.
Palate: Beautifully weird and surprisingly well-balanced. The girolle mushrooms bring peppery warmth and a touch of stone fruit sweetness. Oregano’s savoury profile supports the spice of coriander and the brightness of lemon peel, while patchouli provides an aromatic, earthy base note that lingers like a well-worn bandana. The classic juniper backbone holds it all together like a festival wristband that never quite comes off.
Finish: Medium-long and meditative. A lingering herbal warmth with echoing notes of patchouli, pepper, and citrus. Slightly woody, slightly floral, completely memorable.
