Pickering's Gin is distilled in Edinburgh using a recipe found on a piece of paper which was written in 1947. After finely-tuning the ingredients, featuring botanicals like Juniper, Lemon, Lime, Coriander, Anise, Angelica, Cardamom, Clove and Fennel, the folks at the Summerhall Distillery started putting together their refreshing gin using a 500-litre copper still, charmingly named Gert.
Up-front juniper notes, with subtle spicy, herbal notes and fresh citrus.
Once again, the juniper is in the front, supported once more by lively citrus, though on the palate, this is joined by subtle nutty notes and hints of sweet anise.
A crisp, full-flavoured, herbal finish.
Good on ya, Gert and the rest of the Summerhall team! Keep up the good work!

I generally drink my gin with a quality tonic, but was advised to try Pickering's straight-up. It's a wonderfully smooth spirit, with a big hit of Juniper up front, a splash of citrus leading into a satisfying spicy bite on the finish. Pound for pound an excellent gin.
A really nice ginny, gin! It's my favourite reasonably priced gin. Favourite expensive ones are Spirit of Hven and Monkey 47
