Molotov London Dry Gin comes to us all the way from Yorkshire, made with a delicious medley of botanicals, including juniper, orange, fresh grapefruit, nutmeg, lemongrass, fennel seed, ginger, lime leaves, coriander, angelica, red peppercorn and wormwood. The producers were looking for a botanical recipe that would be a taste explosion in cocktails and mixed drinks - hence the name.
Juniper is powerful at the fore, bolstered by the peppercorn and coriander. Juicy citrus gives it sweetness, while fennel seed adds some intense herbaceous elements.
It just doesn't taste right to me. It's like some sort of herby vodka-gin.
I had the pleasure of attending The Gin To My Tonic in Harrogate and put this on my shopping list for xmas as it was so smooth neat. However it was to smooth, easily lost with a tonic.
Not massively keen on this. Anyone who can drink it neat must have an asbestos mouth, because it burns like hell
I’ve only been a gin drinker for a short while and saw this gin for the first time at the Harrogate Gin show. There are very few gins I can drink neat but this is one. I will be back for more.
Me and my girlfriend enjoyed a bottle of this gin over Christmas and I have to say it is a really easy gin to drink and you can still taste it through the tonic unlike a lot other gins out there.
