Twisted Nose
Twisted Nose Gin comes from the picturesque city of Winchester in Hampshire. It is made in very small batches in traditional copper stills. The botanical selection includes juniper, grapefruit zest, cassia bark, fennel seed, orris, angelica, lavender and, most notably, locally-grown watercress. The humble watercress offers a delicate sweetness and peppery sparkle to this wonderful London Dry gin. The name comes from the word the Romans used for watercress, "Nasturtium", which means twisted nose.
Excitingly spicy with bright peppery notes, balanced by the sweet herbs.
Crisp grapefruit comes through clean, adorned by the lively fennel and subtle floral hints. Bold pepper appears further on.
Rather long and full, with citrus lasting until the end.
An excellent craft London dry, distinctive and full of flavour.

I love my gin and I'm always out on the lookout for new flavours wherever I travel, both within the UK and abroad. But I always come back to this favourite. I am not a fan of flowery and sweet gins and this is neither of that. It's got a spicy kick to it with a great aftertaste of watercress. Serve it with a slice of grapefruit. I agree that the new bottle looks very similar to Harris gin and I actually liked the simplicity of the old bottle. But the content is the same so that's hardly important.
Mmm think I’ve seen this bottle before ........ with a better drink in it
Personally I found it too sweet and tasted like lavender.
A subtle, dry flavour, the gin goes well with plain or subtle mixers, but can be overcome easily with other flavours. Worth the investment if you are wanting to try something different, as I did.
I think the Harris Distillery would probably like their design back when 'Twisted Nose' have finished with it. It's very unlikely indeed that the contents bear comparison.
