The Warner Edwards distillers in Northamptonshire have brought us another flavour of excellent gin - they've been rather prolific since they started in 2012, haven't they? This time, they've gone all regal and created Victoria's Rhubarb Gin, which uses a variety of rhubarb originally grown in Queen Victoria's garden, hence the name, as well as their Harrington Dry Gin. They also add just enough sugar to balance out the acidity from the rhubarb, producing a spirit with plenty of sweetness and some subtle, enjoyably sour notes emanate from the rhubarb.
Soft lemon, orris and nutmeg, all leading towards the full-bodied notes of fresh rhubarb.
Tangy rhubarb once again is the star of the show, supported by a spicy blend of juniper, black pepper and cardamom.
Vanilla pod and cooked rhubarb sweetness.
Amazing!!! Soooo Goood!
Nice rhubarb taste initially but then seems to have a saccharin aftertaste.
Delicious, perfect with fever tree ginger ale, ice and a slice of orange. This is a must try for those Summer evenings, do not miss out on this gem of a gin.
Without doubt this is a truely remarkable, highly delightful Gin, married with Elderflower tonic it becomes the most drinkable Gin. Enjoy people.
Tried it for the first time this week. Served with a slice of orange and slimline tonic water. With a subtle rhubarb taste and aroma, it was light, refreshing and such a pretty shade of pink! It’s now on my shopping list.
