“Very, very pleasant. Have been trying it with Fevertree and a slice of cucumber, and judging by previous reviews, it balances very well with other flavours.”

Description
When you hear the word Camden, what do you think about? The music? The markets? Well, if you were around in the latter half of the 1800s, you might know Camden more for its gin (you also might be indestructible if you're reading this and were around in the late 1800s). Some of that history still exists - take a look at the street called Juniper Crescent, for example.
While those times may have passed, Half Hitch Gin is bringing gin back to Camden. Produced in the former warehouse vaults of Camden Lock, Half Hitch gin is made with a gin base that is blended with tinctures of Malawian black tea, pepper, hay, English wood and bergamot. The name itself was inspired by the knots used to tie barges to the Lock.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Citrus reveals itself first, and is swiftly followed by a bright delivery of herbal tea and black pepper. Subtle juniper comes through.
Palate
Peppery juniper and pine tree freshness take hold, supported by the complex black tea and bergamot.
Finish
Long and drying notes of orange peel, juniper and evocative tea notes.
