Those Zymurgorium folks from Manchester have gone and collaborated with fellow Mancunians Duerr's (of general breakfast table-deliciousness fame) to create the Marmalade-of-Manchester Gin. Made with a bounty of citrus varieties, including Lime, Lemon, Tangerine, Seville Orange and Bergamot (alongside Juniper, Coriander, Grains of Paradise and Vanilla) - the distillate is also passed over sweet orange peels to get yet more citrus-y oils into the gin!
Citrus bonanza! Ripe orange and a hint of lime, followed by a touch of floral vanilla.
Enjoyably jammy and sweet, with peppery juniper and leafy coriander cutting through.
Violet, lemon zest and orange oil.
A nice enough gin but I found the marmalade taste a bit too subtle (maybe I just need more gin and less tonic lol).
Such a cool drink.....Way too drinkable. Plain tonic and crushed ice is all you need. Doesn’t take long for the 50cl to disappear. When I bought it the guy suggested just having it neat with ice. I’m not a big neat gin fan so the tonic suits it just fine.
I’m a big fan of Whitley Neill’s blood orange gin, but this surpasses that by a mile. Sharp citrus but the warmth of the marmalade & it’s as smooth as any gin I’ve tried
It genuinely tastes like the really good quality marmalade, you know the genuinely tart stuff? Really really lovely.
The only reason I stopped drinking this is because the bottle's empty
