Tastes

Lots of botanicals with a distinctive Spanish flair. Less expensive than Gin Mare, but I’m sticking with GM for the G&T. Sooo good with Fever Tree Med Tonic and fresh citrus peel in a balloon glass Spanish style.

With the popularity of Eden Mill Rose creating a shortage on local shelves, I went looking for a substitute. While Rosemary Gin lacks that wonderful floral bitterness of Hibiscus, it more than makes up for it with the depth that the culinary herb brings to the party. Great pairing with Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic in a G&T.

Big and bold, but not brutish. Really stands out when paired with a quality tonic, like Top Note, in a G&T. Superb in a Gibson. Clean, distinctive, delicious.

Very floral and aromatic but also herbal and earthy. The melange of botanicals is not muddled, as I was expecting, but instead is a knife edge balancing act. “Poor man’s Monkey 47” the hawker said. After some skepticism I am warming to the idea, but this is its own (refined) beast of a gin.

Very different botanical profile. Not as herbal as the tasting notes would indicate. Surprisingly more citrus than I expected. Made a phenomenal G&T with Navy Hill original tonic.

Heavy eucalyptus aroma that translates to menthol on the palate. This is the supposed influence of a botanical unique to this gin, the succulent called bottlebrush. Underpinned by a citrusy, peppery base with a slightly sweet malty taste. Excels in a Martini or G&T with a high gin:mixer ratio.

Batch #299. Robust juniper and quite spirity given it is only 41.6% abv. Stands up to the strongest flavored tonics in a G&T.

Great in a G&T. The unusual grain bill gives it a creamier mouthfeel with a little spiciness and pepper from the botanicals and rye grain.
