Greenall's is made to Dakin's original 1761 recipe using eight botanicals - juniper berries, coriander, lemon peel, angelica, orris, liquorice, cassia bark and bitter almonds. These are macerated in wheat neutral spirit and purified water in a pot still for at least 24 hours prior to distillation.

Greenall's gin is widely distributed by UK supermarkets where it represents excellent value. It is also a major player in Russia where its pre-mixed gin and tonic is a brand leader.

The most recent bottle design was launched in April 2011.

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Clean, coriander, juniper and angelica root nutty, forest floor notes. Subdued citrus.

Very classic London dry clean palate with surprisingly creamy mouthfeel. Juniper leads with liquorice, parma violet and cracked black pepper.

Aftertaste:

Nutty, balsa wood notes emerge with subdued citrus. Lingering peppery minty freshness.
