This is big. Really big. Huge! It's 4x larger than the previous Magnum-sized edition!
It's wonderful multi-award-winning stuff, too. Bathtub Gin is made using the ancient method of cold compounding, which involves macerating selected botanicals (including juniper, orange peel, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves) in high quality pot still spirit. Each bottles is also lovingly wrapped, strung and waxed by hand.
An initially Juniper-rich bouquet is backed up with a solid backbone of rich grain spirit. Top notes of Cardamom and Orange blossom are evident with just a suggestion of Cinnamon.
The initial focus is Juniper, but the earthier botanicals make themselves known in the initial palate too. Mouthfeel is exceptionally viscous and creamy – this is good spirit, and it makes itself known.
The Juniper subsides and gives way to the Cardamom and Cinnamon, with a late resurgence from Orange Peel.
A most unusual, but quite entrancing gin.
