Thomas Dakin
Made with eleven botanicals including juniper, orange peel, English coriander, angelica, cubeb pepper and liquorice as well as "a hint of red cole" aka horseradish! It's named after Thomas Dakin, who began producing gin in Warrington in the second half of the 18th century, founding what would later become Greenall's. He was a pioneer who made gin of a surprising quality for the day, and who is rightly celebrated.

Brought this home to Canada from the UK as our craft gin is not a thing yet like it is in UK. We brought a few home. I love this one especially. It is so smooth, the opposite of perfumey,. It is delicious, and like some other reviewers wrote it make a superb G&T.
Ignore the poor reviews. This is a classy gin. Bone dry and musky, it is so much better than the some of its parts, some of which sound frankly weird. If your prefer Lebkuchen to cup cakes, Givenchy to Lynx, then drink this gin.......the rest of you stick to alcopops .
Whoever thought that horseradish was a good idea, needs their head looking at! I like to try new gin's, but I had to pour the contents of my glass, down the sink, which is something that I never do!!
I had been dying to get my hands on this gin but had always ended up with a different one instead. This time it was bought for me so I decided to try it with a pair of Fever Tree tonics: Aromatic and Mediterranean. I found this gin came alive with the Aromatic tonic. To all who gave this gin a low rating I would sincerely recommend that you have fun trying it with different tonics and find your own favourite serve.
I enjoy trying new gins and typically look for a classic style gin. I don't understand the trend of fruit flavoured gins. Reading the back of the bottle, I thought this gin would be a flavour I'd like. Sadly no. It tastes as though mouldy products have been added in the process or that it's just gone mouldy and the company still decided to sell it as an acquired taste. I'll stick to Gin Mare or Tanquerey. I'll give this gin a 1 star rating because it smells better than it tastes.
