Originally created by the Dutch a juniper forward spirit. London dry styles dominate here with a renaissance in 2010 – craft gin soared in popularity! Luckily for us this has enabled a huge variety of different gins to be available.
To create its very own London dry gin, the folks at Warner's have combined a carefully considered recipe of 11 botanicals, including the likes of juniper, angelica root, black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, coriander seed, elderflower, lemon peel, orange peel, nutmeg - and a secret ingredient! As ever from Warner's, this is a wonderfully well-made expression that will go brilliant in cocktails and mixed drinks. They recommend serving your G&Ts made with this gin with a good slice of fresh orange.
Soft and rounded aroma. Still present juniper, now followed by bitter sweet candied orange flavour. A subtle underlying floral note lightens the nose. Strong flavour notes of candied orange, a touch of white pepper and a solid backbone of juniper.
Thick and rich with a balanced sweet and sour berry character. A spiced-honey backdrop is painted over with layers of cherries, plums, and tart berries, with hints of cherry menthol and dark chocolate developing as it sits in the glass.
Soft and creamy strawberry mousse leads, quickly followed by peppery juniper and freshly cracked black pepper. Layers of citrus pith and peel support the strawberries, with musky spice slowly building from underneath.
