Conker Spirit Dorset Dry Gin 70cl

This has to be the taste of the summer... neat over plenty of ice, which is the wat I first tasted it in a hotel in the New Forest.

Totally amazing

The use of Gorse flowers in the original Conker is inspired. I've tried all their gins and my favourite is the Navy Strength. Followed by Conker Cold brew and original Conker Gin.

If you like a dry smooth gin with hints of lemon then this one is for you. No sign of floral notes which many gins have. It's perfect for a dry martini with a lemon twist.

The first stop on a month long road trip of the UK was at The Mariner's Hotel in Lyme Regis. My sister and I had the best G&T we ever tasted. Asked what gin was used and it was Conker's. We tried to have it at other towns on the trip, but were never able to find it. We both wish we had brought a bottle home. Hopefully, you will get the shipping worked out soon. Lovely, crisp, delicious gin.

Let me start by saying I really dislike gin. Of any sort. Always have and thought I always would. However, I tried this today and have to say I’m immediately converted. Very light and refreshing with a cleansing feel to it. It’s made me wonder if I’ve been missing something or whether this is actually so different from other gins that it’s the only one I will like going forward. Anyway, here’s to finding out.

Of all the gins we've tried out over the last couple of years this is the absolute best and our top choice. Outstanding flavour. Not easy to get up here in Scotland, but worth the effort.

I tend to read all the reviews before trying out a new gin. Well, I have to say, this one doesn't disappoint. I love my gin but would not consider myself a connoisseur - I'd probably struggle to identify the botanicals, apart from juniper. I found (past tense, as sadly the bottle is now empty) this to be smooth, easy to drink and with no dominant flavour coming through - just a very drinkable, pleasant, well balanced gin. Mixed with Fever Tree, slice of lime and a slice of cucumber it really is a very satisfying tipple.

There are so many gins out there that it’s hard to know what to get. I’m pleased that I picked Conker - I love this on its own with a good tonic, no need to add any jazzy flavours, it’s great on its own!

This gin is so average that I really cannot understand why people rave about it so much. There are so many more accomplished and complex gins out there & it's really not worth paying the "premium" price tag for this one.
