A London Dry Gin from God's Own County! Masons use Harrogate spring water for their gins along with juniper, a proportion of which is from their own bushes, and a combination of secret botanicals including citrus. Produced in small batches, each bottle has hand written batch and bottle numbers.
Saffron, glazed hot cross buns, aniseed and lemongrass. Some maltiness too.
Specifically fennel now, getting towards liquorice. This is still very much gin though, with notes of juniper and pine.
Juniper, a hint of parma violet and some lingering lemon zest.
Masons set out to create something that "wasn't just your run of the mill, off the shelf, generic gin" and we think they've achieved just that with this spicy, slightly malty number that has a pleasant fennel character.
Maybe its marmite - this gin is so unique and full of tastes/flavours. i love it, Serve well and enjoy. Orange peel the best garnish, but lime is great too.
As an ambassador for Yorkshire produce I cannot recommend this gin enough. I was totally mesmerized and in awe of the flavours in this gin. I had not read any reviews before tasting this nor was I aware of the taste but I was not disappointed. The combination of liquorice and citrus peel proved to be a delight to my palate and was simply enjoyed over ice. Perhaps not to everyones taste but that just leaves more for the rest of us!
Nope... Just don't get this gin. It must be a matter of taste but bought this at food fair and had high hopes. I'm keen to support Yorkshire initiatives but this one doesn't do it for me. Aroma is floral and rose like but tried it as gin and tonic with lime (yuk) and again with twist of orange... Slightly better but curiously industrial taste. Wondered if we'd got a bad batch but then looked up reviews. Difficult to describe but initially fennelish then frankly unpleasant aftertaste... Dandelion and burdock gone wrong. Shame. I would have loved to support this gin but sorry... Won't buy again.
I tried this at a friends party recently & I have to disagree with the very negative review left on here - perhaps they are a competitor wishing to blacken the name? I found this gin very smooth & easy on the palette, going particularly well with green apple or grapefruit. I would definitely recommend trying it for yourself as it really is worth a 'shot' :-)
Picked up the Masons Dry Yorkshire Gin at Selby Food festival ...... Was really pleasantly surprised by the taste, it's different and distinct. Made a refreshing change. Give this a chance ..... There is nothing better in life than variety ..... Put mine in the freezer for a time before serving ..... Nice .
