Gin Recommendation
Gin Meets Top Of the Pops
- Today I am going to go through my top 5 gins. Just like top of the pops I am going to go in reverse order.
In at number 5
- Torn to choose some of the Whitley Neill other gins. Especially:-
- Blackberry
- Goosberry
- Number 5 has been chosen.
- It is Whitley Neill Raspberry Gin
- This gin tastes like raspberries on a summer day
- Tastes amazing on its own
- Not sure could have as liqueur but almost
- Great with Mediterranean tonic
- Working on Raspberry Daquari
In at number 4
- Very tempted to put in Chase which lost out by just a whisper
- Gin given as a present
- Also lots of amazing gin from Wales
- In at number 4 is Aberfalls
- Talked about this before featured it on Instagram
- Amazing flavour which is traditional London gin but very smooth
- The flavour follows through with almost a botanical taste
- Thoroughly recommend this.
- Would also be tempted to have this in a dry martini as well it is that good
- Quite delicate so be careful what you pair it with
In at number 3
- This spot was probably the biggest fight for gins.
- Love Brecon
- Love Mermaid
- Love Gunpowder
- However the winner and in at number 3 is The Botanist
- On Instragram you see how passionate they are about the botanicals
- You see them going live
- This is like a botanical taste sensation in your mouth
- There are some amazing ideas for using this in cocktails
- Also great with tonic. Again I would be careful about putting it with a strong tonic.
In at number 2
- Can’t lie no real contest
- My favourite London Dry Martin Miller
- They distill in the UK but they use Icelandic water
- Don’t think you can get a more crisp gin
- The best thing in dry martini
- Delicate flavour but smooths out any cocktail
In at number 1
- Difficult to decide between these other 4 but always knew that I would choose it.
- Whitley Neill Quince Gin
- Great on its own
- Great with tonic. I have not tried it with Elderflower yet but that was recommended to me very recently
- I would choose Mediterranean tonic
- In the UK very difficult to buy as a lot of supermarkets stopped stock it
- I may have to start a petition to get it put back in supermarkets !!
- Usually available on Amazon
