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.
Fragrant, smooth and flavoursome whilst not being oversweet but retaining that lovely gin tang!
Nice bottle and lovely rhubarb taste but alight harshness.
This is really good! It has a light sweet and tangy rhubarb flavour that tastes natural but also maintains that spice-y gin taste. You can easily drink it on its own.
This is a wonderful, light and delightful gin. A very, very lovely tasting gin, not to subtle not to sweet..perfection in a sumertime cocktail!!! Ordering mass quantities as gifts for those gin lovers in my life, superb!
Yum Yum Yum! Not had Rhubarb Gin before and I drink a lot of gin - not as smooth as I'd hoped, but the rhubarb flavour makes up for that and it's not too sweet either.
