Review and Tasting

Sampled on 17/03/2021

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Pine forest and buttered croissant.

Taste:

Clean classically styled dry juniper-forward, lightly spicy gin mellowed by its subtle creamy mouthfeel and salty sweetness.

Aftertaste:

Long finish with lingering salty buttered croissant.

Overall:

Jake Burgers' Charles Dickens-inspired revival of a gin palace staple is worthy of its "Celebrated" name. This, alongside their Old Tom, is hopefully the start of a series of such gins.
