Gin 1689
Here we have a brilliantly pink expression of Gin 1689! The blushing Dutch gin been dubbed The Queen Mary Edition, named after the wife of King William of Orange the Third. It's based on the authentic Gin 1689 recipe where strawberries and raspberries are added to the distillation process, giving the spirit a pink hue as well as fruity flavour. The recipe is even printed on the back of the bottle! The 320 year old recipe also recommends to drink the gin garnished with strawberries and raspberries, and who are we to argue with history?
Fresh citrus and juicy strawberry, with a hint of spice intertwined with jammy, somewhat tart raspberry, and piney juniper on the finish.
Lovely with a slice of cucumber. Would not want anything else!!!
I already loved the standard Gin 1689, but this one is also really good!!!
Loved this pink gin. Different to the normal pink gins I tasted. Definitely on top of my list :)
I bought a bottle for my wife for Christmas, myself not much of a gin drinker but more of a whiskey guy! After she fell asleep with a half a glass left, I was cheeky enough to finish it for her ;) I really enjoyed this gin, was not sweet at all and had a nice fruity taste to it whilst still packing a nice punch!! Loved it!!
At last a pink gin that isn’t sickly sweet, Gin 1689, Queen Mary Edition finishes dry but still the Strawberry and sharp Raspberry notes come through and you can taste the juniper - highly recommended
