LONDON DRY GIN WARNER'S - UK - 40º

Nose: A flourish of honeysuckle, chamomile, and orange blossom, followed by spicy notes of coriander and crisp aromas of citrus and pine.

Taste: A silky texture coats the tongue. There are initial flavours of woody pine, before a touch of cherry and fragrant blossom. A peak of pollen and pine honey follows, accompanied by a dash of biscuity spice, reminiscent of tiffin cookies.

Finish: A long and lingering finish with a slight, honeyed sweetness and hints of cedar and pine blossom

Suggested serves:

Mixer: Mediterranean tonic water or Premium Indian tonic water.

Garnish: Slice of lemon with sage (optional), a slice of pink grapefruit, or a slice of apple.

Nose: Rhubarb notes bursting through: tart, fruity, fresh, invigorating, and inviting.

Taste: Bright rhubarb stalks upfront, with a brief flash of sourness. This is followed by an array of sweet spice: vanilla, nutmeg, and ginger, which add balance. Classic gin notes then come through, with resinous juniper and the spicy citrus of coriander.

Finish: Long and lingering, with the indulgent, buttery, spiced notes of rhubarb crumble and clotted cream.

A captivating spirit that showcases a genuine character of rhubarb whilst allowing the gin to shine through. The perfect balance of sweet and sour.

Finish: Clean, with a pleasant mix of dry juniper and a light sweetness.

A spirit with a fine synergy between bright gin notes and complex elderflower. Well-balanced and moreish.

Mixer: Mediterranean tonic water.

Garnish: Lemon slice and optional sprig of mint.

Nose: Rich, jammy sloes: plump, with a little fragrant almond, warm spice, and dry stone fruit.

Taste: A soft start with a real crescendo of flavour: juicy berries make way for spice, before clean juniper and zesty citrus. A good balance of sweet-fruity and dry-herbal flavours.

Finish: Dry, slightly tart fruit combined with vanilla and cardamom spice.

This sloe gin has a true harmony between the sloe berries and a characterful spirit. It is pleasant to sip and savour, with a robust character that will also stand up well in long drinks.
