A citrus forward expression, Silverback Mountain Strength Gin is produced in Four Marks, Hampshire, by the Gorilla Spirits Co., using a base of 100% British wheat spirit and featuring juniper, angelica, calamus root, sweet orange, coriander, acacia blossom and lemongrass. The still which produces this gin is named Mugwaneza, which is Kinrwandan for 'She who is content'. It's not just a name either, Gorilla Spirits Co. donate £1 from every bottle sold to The Gorilla Organisation to help fund the conservation of endangered Mountain Gorillas.
Sweet, floral coriander waft up first, followed by freshly-zested-orange-peel notes and a whisper of lemongrass.
Herbaceous spice and orange segment sweetness. Touches of juniper in the background.
Citrus at the fore. Very clean and refreshing.
A lovely, smooth, flavoursome gin, one glass is never enough. I also prefer with No 9 cardamom tonic and orange peel, really draws out the flavours. Top marks Gorilla Spirits
A friend suggested I try Silverback gin and I'm delighted I did! Congratulations to Gorilla Spirits for creating a superb gin - which will be my gin of choice from now on. Great idea to support mountain gorilla conservation in the wild too.
There are many gins around, some good, some not so. This Silverback gin is a true king - absolutely delicious with soft citrus notes at the fore followed by warm spice and ending in a clean finish. For being 46% it is super smooth too, dangerously drinkable! Well done Gorilla Spirits (and love the way you're supporting the mountain gorilla too)!!
Previously very much a fine rum man, I've been moving towards Gin over the last couple of years. Really impressed with Silverback - very refreshing, but very delicate and drinkable. Is currently my 'go to' drink.
I have never been a gin drinker but just love this Silverback Mountain Gin everyone we serve it too at home thinks its absolutely delicious a must for the drinks cabinet..
