Blackeye Gin is brought to us by three stars of the rugby world, Mike Tindall, James Haskell, and Alex Payne. Produced at London-based Thames Distillers, the gin includes a host of botanicals sourced from different rugby-playing nations across the globe. It boasts a citrus-forward profile with subtle florals and intriguingly, is rounded off with a secret ingredient that the makers claim you won't find in any other product in the world! This ought to be a fab choice for G&Ts while watching the rugby.
The gang at Blackeye has informed us that for every bottle sold, they will donate £1.50 to the brand's very own Blackeye Rugby Fund, supporting research into player safety, risk management within the game, and recovery for injured players.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
A silky start, with crisp layers of citrus peel and floral blossom bolstered by a hearty crunch of juniper at the core, and a dash of pepper to finish.
