Pickering’s gin is based on a handwritten recipe dated 17 July 1947 which has been “fine-tuned” using nine botanicals (juniper, coriander, cardamom, angelica, fennel, anise, lemon, lime and cloves) and distilled with neural wheat spirit in a 500 litre copper, bain marie heated, still named Gert.

Review and Tasting


Sampled on 06/09/2014

Appearance:

(sample small batch No.9) Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Coriander and piney juniper with light lemony citrus.

Taste:

Earthy and dry, juniper forward with generous pine freshness. Other botanicals are well integrated with notes of lemon zest, sage, almond and mild black pepper spice.

Aftertaste:

Dry, piney and spicy finish with faint notes of fennel and clove emerging. A traditionally styled gin – delightfully so.
