McQueen Super Premium Dry Gin 50cl

Bought this Gin as it was on offer, as an extra bottle purchase. It is fantastic! We generally have our GnT with a strong dose of lime, and this is the perfect base Gin. Even on its own it is lovely, but as as a base for a gnt it is superb 🙌🏻

I tried this local gin on a recent visit to Callender- it’s the best gin I’ve tasted for a long time. Very happy 😊

I absolutely LOVE McQueen's Dry Gin. My husband bought me a bottle of this for my birthday one year and it's been a regular addition to my collection since. I haven't tried the flavoured varieties but this one is my personal favourite and whenever I see it on the shelf in a shop I grab it quickly. I live in Aberdeenshire and was able to get it via our local John Lewis but it's getting harder to find in my local whisky shops and those in other areas as well. The hint of honeyed vanilla adds a bit of something special but is NOT overpowering or intense, just takes the slightest of edges off of harshness found in spirits. I do not drink sweet cocktails so trust me when I say the taste notes are very slight and refined. Goes well with Cushiedoo tonic and Walter Gregor's too. I personally really love it. With it's very, very pale hint of caramel colour it's a nice gin for autumn/winter but enoyable any time of year. Can't say enough good things.

There is far too much vanilla in this gin to give it a clean and refreshing taste, ends up being a bit cloying, a big disappointment.
