Bulldog Gin

Bought this on Holiday in the Lake District, and very glad I did. I admit I paid over the odds for it (purchased from a local supermarket, a northern Waitrose (if that makes sense), and I now realise it is available for about a tenner less, but hey ho, it was holiday.

Onto the gin. the nose on opening the bottle has more complex aromas than other gins, with a subtle undercurrent of citrus and lime leaves. It was very different to the other gins I have purchased in the past.

the flavour was, once again, more complex than other gins I have tried. mixed it with an ice cold Schweppes tonic and a twist of lemon zest and it was one of the best G&T's I've tried. so much so my wife and I managed to polish off nearly half the bottle between us fairly quickly! Have since tried looking for it locally (hence the hindsight of the cheaper price elsewhere) and will definitely be buying more!!

Smooth, multidimensional, aromatic, yet oh so clean on the palate. Delicious! I’m hooked.

I went to my local liquor store in search of flavored gin, only to be told that gin is "struggling" to survive in the US. I was quite sad to hear this as I am a gin lover. I picked up this darling to drown my sorrows and was amazed at how smooth and lovely it was. I'm in love!!!

28th February 2018

After drinking Inverroche Classic Gin, I was convinced to try Bulldog. I read up on Bulldog, it’s botanicals and am very disappointed.. Returning the bottle from where I purchased it.

24th February 2018

27th December 2017

Drinking my 1st bulldog now with plenty of ice, Schweppes tonic, a squeeze of lime and a slice of red grapefruit. Its stunning. Not tasted anything quite like it before it's very distinctive and smooth.

1st December 2017

Delicious flavour, unlike any other gin I have tasted. Smooth and distinctive.

24th September 2017

Really excellent gin - first time I've tried it. Definitely my favourite gin so far!

7th September 2017

Lovely flavoursome gin

6th August 2017

Superb flavours!! After sampling 21 other varieties in 3 days Liverpool based The Bulldog accompanied by Fever Tree tonic water. Outstanding!!

3rd July 2017

Rubbish. Gin for those who don't like the taste of gin. Subtle??? No flavour more like. Avoid

Pas bien méchant/puissant malgré son nom.
Plutôt classique, j'aurais aimé que ses ingrédients originaux comme le longane et la fleur de lotus ressortent un peu plus.

Only started enjoying gin recently. Originally put off drinking G&T by bar staff drenching the character of the gin with too much syrupy tonic water. I think Bulldog is a gin you can drink neat or just with ice or a splash of water but it's also good, one to one, with tonic. I like the contemporary gins but this is good to keep in the cupboard and go back to for a change. A bit different from the classic London Dry and good value too.

I drink it with Fevertree indian tonic, the tonic compliments this really good gin. To such an extent, that from a Dram sample, I ended up buying a 70cl bottle. Well priced and well balanced, I good one to keep handy in the drinks cabinet. it's in my top 20 @ No 10.

1st November 2016

Would buy this again it was very smooth and a nice taste had it with fever tree tonic and a slice of lemon.Lovely

20th September 2016

First time l have tried Bulldog Gin,lovely perfumed aroma and very dry quite smooth

a very sip able gin and as a g&t drinker would thoroughly recommend it.

3rd August 2016

Excellent taste with fever tree indian tonic a slice if lime and a sprig of mint definately my favourite gin

15th July 2016

Fresh and crisp gin. Keep it simple, ice and tonic. Winner

15th June 2016

Put this one before the domestic tasting panel[friends]
If you compare the quality V price then OK you have a good product.
Would I put in a repeat order-doubtful.
Sorry guys
Acker score 3/5

Not that impressed with bulldog, did a basic standard home test after buying a bottle, cold glass, ice, gin then fever tree so a bit of a naked test. With tonic it has a bit of an after taste dare I say almost chemical! Neat in a chilled glass it's ok, but believe it or not it is improved with a splash (yes a splash so equal the measure of gin) of cranberry juice and that is its saving grace

The Bulldog Gin is one my favorites; not because it's better than any other premium product but because it's probably the most affordable premium product on the market. It's better than any other gin you can find for the same price. It's smooth, not too spicy (but you can definitely taste the poppy!), and since I own a bulldog myself (the dog, of American type) I have nothing but love for this extraordinary English gin.

15th March 2016

First purchase of product,great taste and flavor.
Bought at a fair price,great look to the bottle and ease
of pouring,well thought out!
I would buy again and again,cheers!

One of my favourite London dry gins. Perfect for a dry Martini mixed with Dolin dry vermouth. Add whatever garnishment you prefer.

11th December 2015

Smooth taste!

16th November 2015

love it, never go back to mainstream brands again, a must try with fevertree

18th August 2015

Wow no lemon twist required. Well chilled. Double wow.

2nd July 2015

Rather strong for my taste but goes well with lots of ice and refreshing with flavoured tonics such as fever tree or bottle green pomegranate and
elderflower

24th June 2015

I have been drinking Beefeater over the last 35 years and discovered Bulldog Gin. This is the best and smoothest gin ever. You have a new best friend.

19th March 2015

Bulldog's unconventional 80 proof approach to gin somehow works. Makes a delicious Negroni.

4th March 2015

It makes the best Gin Martine I have ever had. My wife hates gin , she is a vodka martini drinker, until she tasted my Bulldog martini. Now all she wants is a Bulldog martini! Great stuff!!!!

15th February 2015

Very smooth with just a bit of tonic and ice. Definitely better than Hendric's.

11th January 2015

so smooth, often a bottle goes in an afternoon season with a couple of mates. tried so many gins, still come back to this one every time. they haven't killed it with loads of botanicals like a Bombay. go try it!

22nd November 2014

SMOOTH ON ICE….GREAT IN BM'S….GIN AND TONICS….EXCEPTIONAL….PRICE RIGHT TOO..

12th August 2014

Great until you try Burleighs Gin !!

5th August 2014

...give it a try. I found it a very pleasant and new experience in a very competitive market. Great as a mixer, but do try it on it's own to appreciate its unique quality. x
