Needle
A dry, spicy gin produced at the Bimmerle distillery in Achern, Germany. It is made using a tasty recipe of hand-picked botanicals, including juniper, lavender, ginger, lemons and oranges, allspice, cinnamon and (of course) spruce needles.
Bucketloads of forest flavours, spruce needles, juniper, mossy tones with a background of citrus notes. A dry and spicy finish, spruce needles returning.
Contrary to the info above I picked up a bottle that was 47%vol...however you would not guess it. As mentioned you get the spice but I found the finish really smooth and deceptive. No hit that you might get with a stronger gin, this is just pure smooth and dangerously easy drinking. For the price it's great, there with the best of them for value, though I personally wouldn't put it up there with the finer gins, but then you'd pay more also.
Exactly like the description! Taste of the forest.
Amazing gin, so full of “forest” flavours
Amazing, I want more but cannot find it in stock ANYWHERE in the UK
