Conker Spirit was founded by Rupert Holloway in the wonderful county of Dorset, home to many local beers but very little in the way of spirits. In walks Dorset Dry Gin from Dorset's first gin distillery! Conker Spirit's Dorset Dry Gin is distilled using British wheat spirit, New Forest spring water and 10 botanicals, including some rather distinctively-Dorset-inspired botanicals - Gorse Flowers, Samphire and Elderberries.
A summer meadow aroma leads among the subtle sweetness of citrus and icing sugar. Bright juniper percolates throughout.
Soft and supple, the palate begins with plenty of classic juniper elements among a berry jam sweetness and an underlay of more icing sugar. There’s a touch of spearmint here too.
There is a little damp, earthy spice and orange oil in the finish.
A wonderful take on dry gin that would shine with a helping of elderflower tonic.
I was introduced to Conker gin while visiting family in Dorset and now I can't get enough of it. Until it is stocked in my local off licence here in South Wales I'll be ordering from here...
met Rupert in London at a gin school night where he went through his Gin. It is truly brilliant. I reckon he and it will be going places!
After discovering Conker through a lovely girl called Emily,who is Ruperts partner,I have introduced my family to Conker Gin.My youngest daughter has already bought three bottles to take back to London.Beautiful bouquet superb taste what can you not like about Conker Gin.Serve with ice and Fever Tree Tonic absolutely heaven.Well done.
This is my favourite gin without a doubt. I buy it from my local off license (Jolly Vintner Too) but it sells out quickly. Good to know I can add some to my regular whisky orders!
