It's botanical democracy with That Boutique-y Gin Company's first bottling from the Illinois-based FEW Spirits - the back label calls it Brexit Gin, with some botanicals voting in and others voting out! Juniper, coriander, lime and fennel are all here, while lemon, orange, orris and angelica have decided to sit this one out.
This is a limited release of 1,000 bottles.
Bright citrus blossoms develop, with a green hint of fennel in support.
Sweet and still floral (almost Turkish Delight-esque). Crisp lime peel notes, followed by aromatic coriander.
Exotic spice lingers on the finish.
Lime is very much centre stage here, but it's by no means a one-note gin.
First time ever that I have tipped a full G&T down the sink. Awful smell and didn’t enjoy at all!
One of the strangest gins that I’ve tried. Very strong essence of floral notes that blast away at the palate before crisper notes take hold towards the end. Didn’t enjoy it all I’m afraid.
Holy moly....divine
The Kaffir Lime leaf influence here is absolutely huge. This smells like a combination of an incredibly fresh Thai Curry, and Rose's Lime Cordial. The palate is similarly huge, but with an intriguing undercurrent of spice (chilli spice) as well as the obvious juniper. This is probably my favourite gin of the last few years - it's quite unlike anything else you'll ever try, and I simply can't recommend it highly enough.
