Cotswolds Dry Gin

The black pepper is really prominent. Doesn’t make for the best G&T. Will try as a martini!

Peppery, juniper, crisp

Juniper and lemon and a ton of spices. I feel like there is a lot going on here. Very complex. Can be a little too much for some cocktails, but really good in a Bee’s Knees with 2 oz of Cotswolds, 1 oz of honey syrup and 1 oz of fresh lemon juice. It’s got a hefty price tag also.

Hmm. What I love about Gin is it's diversity...bit of base Juniper and then go for gold. However that does mean is you really aren't sure what exactly the concoction is going to taste like. Now I LOVE lavender..it smells great and grows well suppressing weeds. Birds nest in the bushes we have on our property. However just because you love the smell of something doesn't mean your'll like the taste of it and man do I really NOT like drinking lavender. Needless to say this one is not for me. A good mixer can often save a gin or at least change the profile into a better one but my std go tos aren't saving this one. Roots, Method and Madness, Monkey 47, The Botanist I'd be happy with a bottle this a hard pass for me. Update: New day, clean palate and just not for me. I'm just not a fan of floral gin unless it's got a strong Juniper, Citrus backbone. There was an irish gin with sweet berries or something....Mor it was called.....people also raved about..blarghh. I am now onto Cadrona gin....i should have read the label as I'm now getting assaulted by rosehip...#somedaysyoucantwin
