Dornoch Experimental Batches Tasting Set Reviews
Any gin distillery can rest easy...
I received this set as a result of being a crowdfunder for the distillery. So well done for sending this to us. I'm not a gin drinker but my wife is and so is our friend Sheelagh. Over two nights they went through the sample set. These are their views: Overall they felt that none of these gins is anywhere near a standard that should be sold to the general public. We realise that these are experiments but they are so far away from a potable gin. Phrases such as "paint thinner", "chemical", "leather", "fat" were used frequently. One view was that the samples were simply raw alcohol, straight from the still and some were identical.
Going into detail, samples 3 and 4 were slightly better; 1 and 2 were unpalatable as were 5 to 7. No.8 seemed to be have the basis to add botanicals. Our samplers disagreed on No.9 -one thought it was a good basis while the other did not. No.10 was universally castigated.
Not one sample was finished.
Would they buy any of these? Never. What a shame and such a disappointment.
Hope the whisky is better!

Wonderful way to try them all
Really nice to be able to see the differences between all these without buying the full bottle. There are a couple I like much more than the others, so I'm going to buy full bottles of those.
