This gin, distilled at Langley Distillery using traditional botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica, sweet lemon peel, sweet orange peel, cassia bark, liquorice root, nutmeg, cinnamon and orris, along with a couple of “secret ingredients”.

The botanicals are infused in a grain neutral spirit overnight prior to distillation.

Tiger Gin was developed by entrepreneur JJ Lawrence who lives in Shropshire, handily a mere 30 minutes drive from Langley Distillery. He found himself up against Heineken Asia Pacific PTE Ltd who challenged his Tiger Gin trademark, claiming it was too similar to their Tiger Beer. The battle went all the way to the high court but JJ’s tenacity eventually won through.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 08/04/2017

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Cracked black pepper spice, creamy lemon zest and pine fresh juniper.

Taste:

Clean and very classic in style – piney juniper-led with enlivening spicy coriander, cinnamon and peppery spice, and more subtle floral violet, zesty lemon, liquorice and sage.

Aftertaste:

Complex bark and earthy notes emerge in the piney juniper and lemony moderately spicy finish.

Overall:

A classically styled London Dry Gin that’s quality is worthy of a very slightly increased alc./vol. and more deluxe packaging.
