“I wish I had better access to this. I found it in a discount store. Normally I drink Tangeray or Bombay dry gin but this was seriously 5 steps above that. Wish I lived closer to Glasgow.”

Description

The first product from the recently opened Glasgow Distillery Company, in the city of Glasgow is Makar Gin, launched in 2014 and named after the Gaelic word for "poet" or "bard". To make it, they use their copper pot still - affectionately called Annie - and seven botanicals, including juniper, angelica root, liquorice, coriander seed, lemon peel, rosemary, black peppercorns and cassia bark. Juniper-led, backed up by citrus and spice, with angelica and rosemary standing out on the palate and finish.

Reviews for Makar Original Dry Gin

Excellent Gin

Tried it with the slice of Green Chilli and a fevertree tonic as recommended. As you would expect, Juniper is the strongest of the botanicals coming through but aftertaste of Corriander and pepper make it fresh and quite moreish.

Maureen Macdonald Jan 19, 2016

Pretty mild IMHO

This is Dec 1 in the Ginvent calendar. I didn't find the flavor all that strong. I love the smell and taste of rosemary and it's clearly there in this gin.

Mike Dec 2, 2015

Robust indeed!

First impressions were of being slapped in the face by a juniper bush, however the strong taste did grow on me as the bottle got emptier. Like this one but if you drank it all the time it would make everything else seem tasteless.

Clare Johnston Oct 5, 2015

Superb Gin

I've tried many gins and this one is a real stand-out gin that is a real treat. Great robust flavour that stands out from the crowd and one that will keep me coming back for more.

Master of Malt Customer Apr 14, 2015

Disappointment

The flavour is a disappointment. There is a slight taint to this which I couldn't pin down - perhaps plastic is used somewhere in the distilling process? Best drunk as a pink gin - the bitters help mask the off flavour. At present, my least favourite from a great selection of gins.
