Simon Ford of The 86 Company developed this gin with Charles Maxwell of Thames Distillers. It is flavoured with 9 botanicals (juniper, coriander seeds, orris, jasmine, angelica, cassia, bitter orange, lemon and grapefruit peels) steeped for 15 hours before distillation in 500-litre steel pot stills.

The innovative bottle is designed for ease of use by bartenders and includes a scale with measures in fluid ounces and litres to allow greater inventory control and batching of cocktails.

Review and Tasting


Sampled on 15/05/2014

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Clean pungent lavender and camphor from the high juniper content with celery, parma violets and citrus zest.

Taste:

Juniper and fresh floral notes compete with zesty citrus for attention with just enough spice. Very soft mouthfeel, especially given the high alcohol strength.

Aftertaste:

Classic London dry with all the flavours found on the palate continuing through long lingering finish, fading with liquorice-like notes.
