What happens when someone has the clever idea to whack a load of Jaffa cakes in a still and make a gin? Ridiculously delicious things happens, if Jaffa Cake Gin is anything to go by! This tremendous tipple is made with actual, no-foolin' Jaffa cakes, along with oranges, fresh orange peel, and cocoa powder, and we'll have you know that it just so happens to make an astonishing Negroni. If you fancy giving someone the gift of Jaffa Cake Gin, firstly that's a great choice. Secondly, this gift pack comes with a full bottle of that brilliant beverage, alongside a handsome enamel mug!
Zingy orange (marmalade-esque) is swiftly overtaken by a rich and earthy chocolate undertone. Hints of vanilla-rich cake and just a touch of almondy-goodness. A solid backbone of juniper brings up the rear.
Jaffa cakes! Perhaps not surprising, but the resemblance is uncanny. Nice balance and great poise. The flavour never oversteps the mark - this is still resolutely 'a gin'. Delicately sweet - not sickly or in any way liqueur-like.
The orange-y palate fades into unctuous hot cocoa, and a note of bitter dark chocolate remains to the last, ably shored up by the piney tang from the juniper.
Does what it says on the tin, this one. Nicely integrated, and extremely crowd-pleasing.
tastes amazing
Received, today, as a gift, from my son. My partner can't stand Jaffa Cakes, so I thought I'd have this to myself. Wrong! We decided to try a smidge. Just a single as it's a bit early. Ha! Ha! He loves it as much as I do! Definitely, very much a Jaffa Cake taste, but not too strong. Delectable. Will, definitely, be ordering some ourselves. Love the mug too.
Nice to have a free camping mug with something I'm buying anyway.
Sounds interesting .Love the Tin Mug.
