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.

A gin for the sambucca drinker this does not present akin to a regular gin but than that's the point right. Not much on the nose but a nostalgia for paintstripper and a faint wiff of lime. Big hit of fennel, aftertast of lime which grows like the incredible hulk. Full of essential oils as this tuff actually demostrates a louche when diluted into tonic.
Smells piney at first but the main flavour is aniseed. The tonic goes white when you add it like when you add water to pernod. I like it when I get the proportions right but it needs to be quite well diluted to be at its best. If you don't like licorice you will not like this.
I love this gin! But it's definitely very unusual. Lots of exotic lime and aniseed flavour, goes very well with Lamb & Watt Basil tonic and a twist of lime peel. Try it - you might love it! (Maybe buy a sample first!)
I love this gin. Smells odd but tastes just like Turkish delight. Good with Mediterranean or aromatic tonic.
This is not a subtle gin. It's pleasant to drink but almost too in your face. It's a little trying to hard, asking the question: can you taste this? Flavours delivered with a punch bag. Ticking the boxes...Good if you want to shake things up, if you're looking for a gin with a very strong taste. I liked drinking it, variety is the spice of life. Get a taster and decide for yourself!
