From Brockmans distillery comes Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin. Its unique selection of botanicals including Tuscan juniper berries, Bulgarian coriander, blueberries, blackberries and bittersweet Valencian orange peel are steeped in grain spirit. It is then distilled in a 100 year old copper still, with the final gin boasting, as its name may suggest, an intensely smooth profile. The moody and opaque bottle is somewhat alluring...

Very sorry but I don’t regard that it tastes like a gin in any way. I agree with another reviewer who mentions “cheap liquor” as, to me, it does have a cheap liquor/firewater taste, badly masked by the airy fairy cheap waft of blackcurrant. So many people love it. I don’t think there is a mixer that could ever work with it or a piece of fruit to complement it. Not a pleasure to drink just an annoyance. As they say, “curiosity killed the cat”. And , “you can’t fool all the people, all of the time”. An expensive mistake!
My favourite gin. Needs to be paired with a standard tonic, not a flavoured one so you can taste the gin.
The best gin overall, drinkable for all in it's pure form.
My favourite
This is most definitely my favourite gin. Served over ice with a good (regular, not slim or flavoured) tonic, with a slice of grapefruit. It's more fruity than botanical but it's subtle and delicious.
