Capreolus
Garden Swift Gin 50cl
Customer Rating
“A firm favourite after first trying a couple of years ago... it is simply an amazing gin! Goes perfectly with tonic and a slice of orange. Only a shame it's a 50cl bottle!”

Description
A stunning English gin from the Capreolus distillery in the Cotswolds. Garden Swift Gin (formerly known as Garden Tiger Gin - the distillers felt that after its big impact worldwide the gin's name deserve to evolve) is made with a meticulously pruned botanical recipe of 34 ingredients, including fresh Sicilian blood orange and flowers from Tillia cordata, a particular variety of small-leaved lime tree native to Britain. It's by no means a traditional gin (distiller Barney Wilczak had no interest in creating one of those), but it's definitively a modern classic.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Apple, peach and citrus, followed by a softly savoury hint of basil leaf and cinnamon.
Palate
Resinous pine stands at the fore, joined by violet and honeysuckle floral hints. Another helping of fruity notes in the shape of blueberry and pear.
Finish
Enjoyably spicy on the finish with juniper and cinnamon, balanced by a touch of melon.
