Gin
Gin is a classic spirit loved for its bright, aromatic character and its flexibility behind the bar. It’s made by distilling a neutral base with botanicals, most importantly juniper, which gives gin its signature piney backbone. From there, the flavour spectrum can range from zesty citrus and warming spice to floral and herbal notes, depending on the specific botanicals used.
One of the great joys of gin is how it drinks. Sip it neat or over ice to appreciate the botanical complexity, or mix it into a range of favourites. A gin and tonic is a timeless pairing, especially with citrus and a good quality tonic, while martinis highlight the spirit’s crisp, resin-like profile. For something lighter, try it with soda and fresh garnishes, or for a more rounded serve, blend with vermouth and spices in a classic cocktail.
If you’re choosing a gin for mixing, consider the style and intensity. London Dry gins are typically bold and dry, while modern styles may be fruitier, sweeter, or more floral. Explore the range to find a gin that matches your preferred style, whether you enjoy clean and juniper-led flavours or something a little more adventurous.
