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.
Very juniper forward - not a subtle gin but certainly one for those who love gin to taste like real gin
Enjoying the taste very much.
One of my absolute favourite gins! If you like gin, you will love Makar! Can tell this is a labour of love and that great craftsmanship and consideration has gone in to this product. Beyond yummy! Would highly recommend
An incredible juniper heavy gin worthy of all its awards!
Tasted like plastic and talcum powder. Not the juniper bomb I expected!
