To create this exciting gin, The Wrecking Coast distillery in Tintagel macerate 12 botanicals in grain spirit for a fortnight before running through a computer controlled iStill (no, really). Meanwhile, the signature botanical, Cornish clotted cream, is cold distilled in a vacuum still before the two spirits are blended together!
Though clotted cream adds a creamy depth to the spirit, the prominent flavours are of wonderful garden-y floral notes and peppery spice. Recommended serves are either neat over ice or with tonic, strawberries and lime.
A creamy mouthfeel carries notes of vibrant, earthy juniper, vanilla pod and honeyed floral. Hints of angelica root and peppercorn stick around in the background.

I tried it with Strawberries and Fever-Tree Tonic water, not what I expected in a good way! Very smooth in taste and feeling in the mouth. Too easy to have more than one ?
Finally got around to opening this last night to try and will back summer and it was incredible!! The sweet flavour is just delicate enough to make it different to most other gins I have tried. With some strawberries added to it, the combination left me wanting more and more!!
Oh my goodness, absolutely fabulous! As recommended, had it with a strawberry in it and a decent tonic. I've had *ahem* a few g&ts in my time but I've genuinely never had such a smooth one. The cited clotted cream really comes through - and it's so smooth that we tried it as a "sipping gin", just over ice, and it was sublime. Thoroughly recommended but beware: it may spoil all other gins for you!
This is an utterly amazing drink. Have it with a strawberry and a good tonic, and you may very well never drink a different gin again. Also, drinking neat over ice is an experience that only leaves you wanting more. I'm unlikely to put it any kind of cocktail for fear of spoiling the delight of having "normally".
Yuk! Oily and cloying....
