Old English Gin is made from a 1783 recipe, distilling eleven botanicals in Angela, the oldest pot still being used in England today. And by using recycled bottles, organic sealing and silk printed labels, all as they did back in 1783, they are reinvigorating the way English Gin was made and distributed back then.
This is a very complex gin on the nose behind the juniper there is a rich earthy complexity, warm black pepper and dry spice. There are hints of crushed mint and basil. It is plain as the nose on your face that this is a very different Gin. On tasting this Old English Gin you are rewarded with a subtle sweetness upfront that gives this gin a sumptuous, silky mouth feel. Behind the sweetness comes orange, pine from the juniper and nutmeg spice, tagged on the end are delicious bitter notes that serve to balance the sweetness and dry out the gin. The finish is surprisingly complex and moves from earthy notes of bitter leaves, tree bark and woody to almost nutty flavours with hints of liquorice and a cheeky floral note that plays hide and seek on the taste buds. |
