Fifty Eight Gin is the work of Mark Marmont, who creates the gin in Hackney Downs using a single shot distillation method with a gorgeous alembic still, 100% British wheat spirit and nine carefully selected botanicals - this includes juniper, coriander, lemon, pink grapefruit, vanilla, orris, cubeb pepper, bergamot and angelica. An ace gin for cocktails, this one...
Good balance of citrus and enjoyably leafy notes. A touch of sweetness to it, too.
Quite dry, with pine-y juniper at the fore, well backed-up by citrus.
Peppery with a lasting hint of juniper.
Clean, sharp & delicious (drank mine as a G&T)
I found this really smooth, buttery almost - great balance of citrus and spice. Will order again.
Really good neat! The pepper note just gets you every sip! With tonic that note is sadly lost...
Sharp botanical. Brilliant taste and aftertaste
Tried this at a bar specialising in different gins one evening and it came out favourite of all the 10 others I tasted :o) I would say I did share these with a friend - I am not really an alcoholic!!
