Bakewell Gin is an aromatic craft gin distilled in a small copper pot still at a humble family-run distillery in the peak district. Just six botanicals were infused in this gin in total, with the inevitable cherry and almond and classic notes of juniper supplemented by additions of cardamom, cubeb pepper and hibiscus flowers. When serving, I defy you not to use a cherry to garnish.
A spicy and floral opening keep things interesting, before the awaited ground almonds and cherry jam reveal. There's a touch of custard in there too.

Terrible artificial flavour
Sweet, ridiculous artificial flavour. Not the gin I was expecting. I have had cherry bakewell gin and this is not the one I was looking for!
Not from anywhere near Bakewell - misleading advertising. Very sweet, artificial flavour - a real shame as we had expected more.
Not local too sweet
Ok now and again but far too sweet for me. Can definitely taste the cherry. Nice as an after dinner drink.
