HAYMANS LONDON OLD TOM GIN
Hints of playful pine immediately greet you on the nose. Muscular lemon oil builds out most of the aroma, with a dash of licorice root for good measure. The palate is creamy and unctuous. Early on citrus oils and mild sweetness hold court, before the flavor unfolds. Hayman’s Old Tom Gin segues seamlessly into juniper custard with a hint of baking spice, and then into earthy almost chewy licorice root.
LE GIN CALVADOS CASK FINISH
The base spirit is made with a combination of over 30 different cider apple varieties, and the botanicals are inspired by the aromas of Calvados (apart from juniper). These botanicals include lemon, ginger, rose, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla and almond. This particular expression has even enjoyed a finishing period in Calvados casks.
LE GIN CARMINA
Carmina is made according to the same principles as the original Le Gin, each flavour is macerated and redistilled separately to optimize the extraction of flavours. The distillates are then blended before bottling. This time the bouquet is summery. It combines flowers and fruits with the use of raspberry, black currant, elderflower, vanilla, lemon and orange in addition to juniper and cider apple varieties from Normandy.
LONEWOLF CACTUS AND LIME GIN
The classic LoneWolf London Dry gin is given an extra layer of citrus and fragrance in this LoneWolf Cactus & Lime Gin. A classic Juniper backbone is layered with lime and topped up with the juice from Queen of The Night, an elusive and fragrant cactus flower that only blooms at night. Bold notes of lime citrus with sweet, fruit bursts of watermelon and lychee from the cactus and hints of floral.
LONEWOLF CLOUDY LEMON GIN
A brilliantly citrusy variation of BrewDog's LoneWolf Gin. The original recipe gin which features punchy botanicals along the lines of Scots pine, lavender, fresh grapefruit peel, and more is allowed to macerate with fresh Sicilian lemon peels for seven days, resulting in a full-on citrus flavour bonanza. Clearly lemon notes appear at the fore, but the spicy gin at its core is certainly no slouch, packing heavy notes of juniper and spice.
LONEWOLF GIN
BrewDog's LoneWolf Gin packs a hefty juniper bite alongside a selection of punchy botanicals, which include Scots pine, lavender flower, fresh grapefruit peel and more. A creamy mouthfeel carries hot spices and oily juniper, with a deftly balancing citrus influence. Dig a little deeper and the earthy-though-refreshing notes of lemongrass and lime leaf take control.
LONEWOLF GUNPOWDER GIN
LONEWOLF PEACH AND PASSIONFRUIT GIN
The craft spirit is infused with juicy white peach, sweet passionfruit and a hint of yuzu (a hybrid of lemon and mandarin), ideal for creating thirst-quenching tipples.
Serving recommendation: Pour 25ml LoneWolf Peach and Passionfruit Gin into an ice-filled glass, followed by 150ml premium light tonic water. Garnish with a fresh slice of peach or orange wedge.
PORTOBELLO ROAD GIN
On the palate Portobello Road Gin has a generous slug of juniper and a sustained, fresh citrus character from the use of lemon, bitter orange and coriander, which then develops into a sweet peppery finish, achieved by the use of liquorice and nutmeg. Tasting note is clean, classic gin nose, crisp lightly herbal and spicy. Fresh pepper from fresh crasked black pepper to bright bell pepper. Engaging juniper finish with a touch of cool chilli. Best served simply with tonic and a grapefruit twist.
