“Best Gin I've had in a long time. It is very smooth and balanced great with a twist of orange, lots of ice, a bit of tonic and a large double. ”

Description
Wessex Gin hails from the Wessex Distillery, and the spirit has been dubbed 'Alfred the Great', who turns out to be king of the Anglo-Saxons back in the day. The star botanical here is chervil, giving a slight aniseed flavour. In Anglo-Saxon times, it was believed that chervil strengthened the stomach when mixed with honey and a freshly ground poppy. We just think it tastes good here though.
Wessex Distillery was awarded the IWSC 2022 UK Gin Producer of the Year trophy.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
A touch of aniseed and a whole lot of juniper, followed by a good helping of citrus peel, a drizzle of honey and a delicate floral undertone.
