About this deal

One part Weavers Dry Gin to three parts premium tonic. Garnish with a slice of orange and fresh rosemary over ice. LOUGH REE DISTILLERY Phil Harding, bbb founder, added: “This partnership has been in the pipeline for a while, so I'm very happy that we have managed to align ourselves and come to a long-term agreement.

Perrett was “pleasantly surprised” by the flight. “Experimentation was slightly restrained in a way,” she noted, “taking you beyond classic, but in a good way.”

Wedding Gifts

A total of 24 Silver medals completed the Contemporary flight, with awards going to Copeland Irish Gin, Sky Wave Gin Signature London Dry Gin, Palmers Gin and Greenpoint Gin, to name just a few. Bold, fresh citrus notes were a hit among the judges Pleasantly surprised See themuffliquorcompany.com for a choice of gift boxes, including A Taste of Home, which includes Tayto crisps, Barry's Tea and Muff Potato Gin. Blood Monkey Gin is a premium Irish gin distilled with ten botanicals, including juniper, lime leaf, almond, orris root, Irish rosemary, licorice, and coriander. Praise for the standard of London Dry gins continued. Athavia also constructively noted about this heat: “A few were a little on the sweet side, and when considering tonic or mixers, these may become a bit too sweet for consumers.”

Blood Monkey Gin is a premium gin, as such, it is priced at a premium level compared to other gins on the market. Master winner Seventh Heaven London Dry Gin was praised for its “gorse flower nose and very creamy mouthfeel”, and Gordon’s Traveller’s Edition was enjoyed for its “slight citrus nose and herbal finish”. Also awarded a Master medal was AmberChes Botanical Gin, which impressed the tasters with its “thyme and rosemary palate with citrus at the end”. Local’s Edition also won a Master medal for its “lovely bright citrus nose” and “juniper-led palate”. Lush Guide to Italicus – Rosolio di Bergamatto– the wunderkind spirit that takes the humble bergamot and makes magic The penultimate flight of the day was Sloe Gin, and a solid set of three Gold-worthy entries made for a happy group of judges. Gin Lane 1751 Sloe won a Gold medal for being “sweet, jammy”, and Downpour – Sloe & Bramble bagged Gold for being “fruity, full of flavour and very sippable”. Erste Maennerhobby’s Sloe Gin gained a Gold medal for its “classic sloe profile, and hint of sharpness on the finish”. Larsson-Bell said: “There was excellent quality, with a huge array of flavours and botanicals to express. Sweetness was to a minimal level, and these gins offered more mouthfeel than sweeter elements. A vastly diverse category with a great future ahead.”Collaborating with local sea foragers, land foragers, chefs and fishermen, Skellig Six18 selected a range of local botanicals that include birch sap, fresh Douglas fir needles, yarrow and a pinch of dillisk foraged from nearby Derrynane beach. The botanicals are distilled separately to gently extract the flavours and then blended prior to bottling. In 2018 I started to explore gin and realised that they all seemed to follow a similar path. The only differential was the provenance and the botanicals, but most had a similar taste profile. Coming into a growing market with a lot of brands already present, we wanted to be different – both with our brand and the flavours of our gin. Master distiller at Dingle Graham Coull says: "The unique botanicals found on the Dingle peninsula give a fabulously fresh, floral character that perfectly balances the traditional botanicals often seen in London dry gin and in particular juniper. For me, this combination provides a gin of unmatched quality. But to be honest, you really have to taste it for yourself." The first, London Dry, is a gin originating in England–but not always London. To be defined as a London Dry, the gin must be made without artificial ingredients, colours or flavours, and juniper must be the dominant botanical. They also tend to be higher proof.
