This cracking gin from Adnams is distilled in a beer stripping column before being put through a handmade copper pot still. It is then purified in a rectifier, resulting in a very creamy and rich spirit, although at this point it isn’t yet technically a gin! To complete the final stage, it is then infused with six botanicals including juniper, cardamom pod, sweet orange and hibiscus flowers. Adnams Copper House Gin is perfect for a Dirty Martini.
Sweet, floral nose with hints of barley, juniper berry and citrus.
Zesty, sweet palate with barley, vanilla, hints of cardamom and fresh flowers.
Soft, floral finish.

I discovered copper house gin a while back and really enjoyed it. Yet it was only after digging out the bottle having tried several other - and more exotic - gins that I really started to appreciate just how damned good this gin is. It's great as a long G&T, but can also stand its own as a shorter drink. It had a lovely distinctive flavour without veering off into the weird and wonderful. In short it's a classic and one I wouldn't want to be without a bottle of.
A hint of sunny garden shed creosoted 2 years ago.. in a good way.
I have it on good authority that Mother loved it.
As with mainly other reviewers here, I agree, for £27 this is a very nice gin. It's smooth but has a lovely warming after glow. Mixed with orange peel or blood orange, the subtle spice hints are very prominent. Change the mixer/garnish and it changes the result but still comes through great.
I was sent this as a present from a friend and is completely new to me. I absolutely love it! Such delicate flavours, a dry somewhat floral taste with a hint of spice which I couldn’t put my finger on. I gather it is cardamom! I shall most definitely buy again and am tempted to try the pink gin variety also.
