Rhubarb and rose - a spectacular combo! This expression from the City of London Distillery boasts oodles of both, alongside some classic London gin botanicals to complement the floral and fruity deliciousness. The lovely pink bottle is definitely one for the front of the drinks cabinet.
Notes of sweet rhubarb and fragrant, delicate rose alongside a traditional base of classic London gin botanicals, most notably juniper.
I would agree with the majority of people on here: there is no discernible taste of rhubarb or rose. I do not claim to be a professional-level taster, but I know my way around a drink or two and this is just a dry gin with a vague scent of rose. If you want dry gin, there is better for less; if you want a flavoured, it’s the same story. Very expensive for what it is too.
This gin is lovely! If you’re a proper gin wanker like myself you’ll love it! Don’t read the below reviews they were obviously after a gin liquor which is sweet and sickly. Pair it with FeverTree Eldeflower Tonic and not cheap crap for a perfect drink. I have over 25 different gins and none of them under £35 a bottle. This is truely a gin snobs drink - not for the amateurs
Disappointingly No hint of Rhubarb or Rose, bought from Sainsbury’s after coveting this for ages... expensive gin in a pretty bottle.
Bought this from my local Sainsbury. Very disappointed, not only does it have a very cheap stopper but as others have pointed out there is not any flavour of rhubarb or rose that I or others can detect! At least after a week someone responded to my comments but only in summary to mention that the flavour is intended to be subtle, it certainly is!! (not a mention of subtle on the bottle!!) Sainsbury apparently have no interest that they are selling a product which will likely disapoint a lot of customers but I'm sure that customers who don't like it will vote with their feet and never buy it again!
Absolute rubbish, couldnt taste anything other than gin, no flavour at all, if you want a good rhubarb one slongsbys is a must, blows them all away
