Bloom London Dry Gin

Bloom Gin is what they call a "romantic twist in the world of gin." Blended with demineralized spring water down to a light 80 proof relative to the more traditional gins, it includes botanicals such as chamomile, pomelo, and honeysuckle, which might lead it to a more modern classification but we have adopted the traditional dry label in deference to their own declaration. It is produced by G&J Greenall who claim a traditional stretching back to 1761 when the distillery was founded by Thomas Dakin

In 2010, this gin won a platinum medal at the World Spirits Competition.

Ingredients

One of the world's best-selling gins, Beefeater London Dry is distilled in a traditional London dry style. Using fine botanicals and master distiller James Burrough's original recipe from the 1800s. Shaped by nine all-natural botanicals: juniper, Seville orange peel, bitter almonds, orris root, coriander seeds, angelica root, licorice, angelica seed, and Sicilian lemon peel Beefeater London Dry Gin has a remarkably clean flavour, with a bold juniper character that is balanced with strong notes of citrus. An ideal gin to enjoy with the tonic of your choice or in your favourite gin cocktail

Tanqueray No. TEN Gin is distilled to the premium standards of Tanqueray Gin, with the heart of Tanqueray No. TEN coming from the “Tiny Ten” copper pot still. Our No. TEN is distilled using fresh whole citrus fruits. With its unique, full-bodied character and citrus undertone, No. Ten is a perennial favorite among passionate bartenders and is a Double Gold Medal Winner at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

The perfect inspiration for your own ingenious cocktails, mix No. TEN Gin with a splash of premium tonic water and a wedge of pink grapefruit for a refreshing tasting cocktail.

Gunpowder Tea is so called because each tea leaf has been rolled into a small ball, reminiscent of gunpowder. It’s usually made with green tea leaves and it’s that special ingredient that gives Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin its name. But beyond that, Gunpowder Gin is a complex array of botanicals from a number of traditions.

Three kinds of citrus fruit: grapefruit, lemon and makrut lime join the tea and are vapor distilled. The remaining ingredients, including Macedonian juniper, are macerated and distilled in a pot still. There’s the legendary American Jackelope on the bottle; Chinese tea as a signature botanical, but Gunpowder Gin is made in Drumshanbo, Ireland.

Tasting Note:

The nose is light and citrus-forward. The more delicate handling of the citrus ingredients is quite evident here. Fresh lemon zest highlights a subtle herbaceous, sagey juniper with the slightest hint of green tea and meadowsweet.

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin explodes with flavor on the palate. Citrus once again dominates. This time its grapefruit. Juniper and green tea are present mid-palate: the juniper herbaceous and bright, the green tea calling to mind Jasmine green tea, as you might get before sushi at a Japanese restaurant. Towards the end though, it turns sweet and spicy/herbal. Anise and cardamom are subtly and expertly played in here. Meadowsweet, especially late and towards the finish lends its a honeyed, vanilla-like nuance. The combination of botanicals though somewhat eccentric is well balanced. The green tea is at the fore. Gunpowder Gin does justice to its namesake. However, where this really stands out for me is how it balances the botanicals. Enough juniper for classic gin fans, but also heavy on the citrus and herbs, without overpowering each other.

The finish is mildly warming with a pleasant heat.

Capturing the softly enticing scent of jasmine flower, this naturally flavoured 40% abv gin delivers sweet and heady floral notes on the nose. By contrast, the palate delivers bright layers of lemon and citrus oil balanced by a confident juniper note, leading to a lingeringly sweet finale.

Our Lemon & Jasmine Gin is captivatingly versatile in a variety of drinks to suit any occasion, from refreshing long serves such as a G&T made with premium light tonic water and a twist of lemon, to shorter Martini-style serves which deliver an invigorating lemon hit.

Beefeater Pink adds a new and bold pink face to the brand's product range and appears as a homage of London's underground club culture. From the bottle label, inspired by the typical concert poster, up to graffiti on the glass bottle and the gin's neon pink colour as a reminder of the city's underground clubs - everything resembles the urban, rebel and restless London.

Smooth, intense and pink, Beefeater Pink is a unique fusion of strawberries, citrus and dill, created for those who seek new experiences every day.
