Bathtub Gin is already snappily-dressed, boasting brown paper, string and wax upon its bottle - but now the Ableforth's folks have gone and made a snazzy gift pack for it too! This bottle of the multi-award-winning, cold-compounded, generally excellent Bathtub Gin comes alongside a rather handsome enamel mug, perfect for serving a tasty cocktail in. Or perhaps a tea. Frankly, the mug is not picky what you drink from it.
An initially juniper-rich bouquet is backed up with a solid backbone of rich grain spirit. Top notes of cardamom and orange blossom are evident with just a suggestion of cinnamon.
The initial focus is juniper, but the earthier botanicals make themselves known in the initial palate too. Mouthfeel is exceptionally viscous and creamy – this is good spirit, and it makes itself known.
The juniper subsides and gives way to cardamom and cinnamon, with a late resurgence from orange peel.
A most unusual, but quite entrancing gin.
Drunk the gin for years, but this little mug is beautifully decorated.
