Dodd's Gin 50cl
Dodd's Gin
Dodd's Gin is The London Distillery Company's first gin produced solely in London, following the release of their Anglo-American Testbed 1 gin samples in 2012. It's named after Ralph Dodd, who back in 1807 had planned to build a distillery in London for the creation of British spirits. Ralph's dream sadly crumbled however, much like a number of bridges and tunnels he designed.
The gin itself is made exclusively with organic botanicals, including juniper, angelica, fresh lime peel, cardamom, red raspberry leaf, bay laurel, and honey from The London Honey Company.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Juniper and bay leaf gives way to kaffir lime and then green Opal Fruits (/Starburst). More subtle notes of bracken and raspberry bush, as well as a hint of jasmine and some cardamom depth.
Palate
Thick textured with a hit of fresh lime zest, juniper and just a hint of that honey.
Finish
Sherbet and lime. Increasingly chewy before a drying finish.
Overall
A big, vibrant gin. Quite delicious.
