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.
Sort of expected the gin to be a bit average with the elaborate bottle and everything, but it's an exceptional gin! Well worth trying.
Absolutely love everything about this and Pocketful of Stones. Did the tour last summer and it’s just amazing!!
Came across this in a Facebook group and decided to give it a try. The beautifully crafted tin caught my eye initially, but the gin itself is by no means secondary to its packaging. Great flavour, works with different mixers, and has a really cool colour effect. Highly recommend - thanks FB, thanks Pocketful of Stones!
Bought one for my sister for her birthday. She was over the moon and says she’s been drinking it with lemonade and loves it!
Excellent gin!
