Not a gin and thankfully, despite the brand name, not claiming to be a gin. This is "premium gin mixed with a hint of blood orange".
Released February 2019.
Review and Tasting
Sampled on 16/02/2020
Appearance:
Clear, vivid orange.
Aroma:
Pungent, juicy and zesty blood orange. Gin aromas are subdued.
Taste:
Intense and fresh orange flavour with lightly bitter orange oils and citrus acidity balancing a very subtle sweetness. Orange flavours overwhelm subdued gin.
Aftertaste:
Dry, long zesty orange finish with citrus acidity and lingering lightly bitter orange oils.
Overall:
One of the best-known names in gin but despite the Beefeater brand name this far from being a gin and is best categorised as a "blood orange botanical spirit." If that's what you're after then this is balanced, zesty and complex rather than one-dimensional.
