This festive gin liqueur is named after Reverend Hubert Bell Lester, who created his winter liqueur recipe in 1904 for the Christmas gathering of his congregation. Years later, his great-grandson recreated the original formula with a few updates and help from Joe Wadsack, who is generally thought to have the best palate in the wine business. There are Amalfi lemons and oranges, along with a few seasonal spices - this one's a winner simply over ice and will do well in a Negroni, too.
Warming and spicy, with loads of oily citrus zest, a good handful of dried fruit and peppery juniper underneath it all.
This liqueur is DIVINE. ❤️ I bought it because it looks cool and super original. Who doesn’t like a label like that. I had a few sips and first impressions are that it’s a perfect Christmas/winter drink (and pressie). Yes citrus zest..? touch of sweet caramel...then the clove, cinnamon(usually don’t like cinnamon). Long finish which had me licking my lips and wanting more. Am actually really impressed Rev Hubert is unique and delicious.
