Dr. Squid Gin comes to us from the Pocketful of Stones Distillery in Penzance, which was made using a recipe that features real, no-foolin' squid ink! We squid you not! A rather savoury expression, with a coastal feeling to it, along with a few touches of citrus and spice. If that wasn't cool enough, it also turns bright pink when you mix it with tonic! It comes in a copper flask, engraved with all sorts of flora and fauna. It also looks like the eponymous Dr. Squid is on the label...
Savoury kitchen herbs, balanced by fresh lemon zest and meadowsweet.
Citrus sits at the core, with woody juniper following. Subtly floral at points, and a touch of sea breeze sneaks in later on.
Spring blossom and pine.
Really loved this one!
Great concept, great packaging, great gin. I’ll certainly be getting a second bottle!
Probably one of the best made gins I’ve ever had! Originally had it as a G&T in my local so didn’t even know about the flask at first, which obviously is something else! Would recommend to everyone!
Looks great. Tastes like methylated spirit. There’s nothing to suggest that this is Gin at all. I cannot detect any of the expected juniper, citrus or woody notes that you would expect. I’m unsure if it is just a bad batch or if has been tainted by the copper flask but unfortunately this is destined to become drain cleaner. I have contacted the distillery but received no reply. An expensive gimmick that is best avoided.
Cant believe how nice this gin tasted. It was amazing. Bought it for the decorative flask it came in and intended to keep it for a good while. Relatives came to stay and that was it! Polished one in one evening. Absolutely one of the best gins around, in my book.
