The Bitter Truth Violet Liqueur 50cl

The Bitter Truth Violet Liqueur With this Violet Liqueur, The Bitter Truth uses the blossoms and roots of violets which are added to the finest neutral spirit. The colourful hue of this drink, according to The Bitter Truth is "reminiscent of a full moon reflected on a river in the twilight". In this way, they honor the name of the flower which gives the liqueur its name. The deep purple is evocative of the unique flavour of this fragile flower. It has a delicate sweetness, with a perfume of parma violets. The taste is similar, but also with hints of wild berries, and sweet vanilla. It's a natural seducer (once tried, you're sure to love it!), with its intense southern French flavour being both sensitive and balanced enough to elevate your Aviation cocktail to the heavens. Read more about The Bitter Truth Perfect Serve This violet liqueur impressively captures the delicate and elegant flavours of the flower. It adds a distinctive flavour, and delicate colour to classic cocktails like the Aviation, the Blue Moon, and the Violet Fizz can now be made true to the original recipe.

Marula Gin 50cl

Marula Gin The Marula tree grows in Namibia, and is also known as the Elephant tree. Elephants love to eat the fruit, but when in their stomach it ferments and makes them just a little drunk! (Apparently monkey's and giraffes like it too for a similar reason!). Taking inspiration from this, as well as the delicious flavour of the fruit, a number of Belgian gin connoiseurs decided to create a new gin, and Marula Gin was born. Using the marula fruit as well as other carefully selected botanicals (juniper berries from Tuscany, lavender from Provence, rose petals from Bulgaria, coriander from India and orange blossom from Spain) they have created a truly delicious fruity gin. This is a really sensual gin and the fruit gives it an exotic feel Good to know: For those of us that love elephants (emma@GF is a big fan), by purchasing Marula Gin, you are helping these magnificent creatures. In return for using the forbidden fruit of the elephant tree, Marula Gin supports Elephant Whispers (a safe haven for elephants in Africa) by adopting elephants. Read more about Marula Perfect Serve The best serve we feel, is a classic gin & tonic. Pour 50ml of the gin into a large glass filled with ice, and gently pour over 150ml of Fever-Tree Tonic water. Stir gently, and garnish with a few juniper berries and a slice of orange. For the cocktail lovers, try a Drunken Elephant. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shake together 50ml of Marula Gin, 10ml of sugar syrup, 15ml of lemon juice and 80ml of grapefruit juice. Pour into a large glass, and garnish with basil leaves.

Het was dit wat leidde tot de ontwikkeling van het merk Beefeater Gin... maar het gaf ook de aanzet tot het merk Hayman's gin. De huidige Master Distiller van Hayman's (Christopher Hayman) is de achterkleinzoon van James Burrough. Met dit pakket ontvang je drie flessen van 20 cl uit het kernassortiment van Hayman's Gins - hun London Dry, Old Tom en Sloe Gin's.

Marula Gin Pomegranate 50cl

Marula Gin Pomegranate The pomegranate edition of Marula Gin was inspired in the same way as their classic, and uses this gin as the base. The Marula tree grows in Namibia, and is also known as the Elephant tree. Elephants love to eat the fruit, but when in their stomach it ferments and makes them just a little drunk! (Apparently monkey's and giraffes like it too for a similar reason!). Taking inspiration from this, as well as the delicious flavour of the fruit, a number of Belgian gin connoiseurs decided to create a new gin, and Marula Gin was born. Using the marula fruit as well as other carefully selected botanicals (juniper berries from Tuscany, lavender from Provence, rose petals from Bulgaria, coriander from India and orange blossom from Spain) they have created a truly delicious fruity gin. In creating the pomegranate expression, Marula use the original base and then add pomegranates, raspberries, wild strawberries and blackberries. This ensure the original gins fruitiness is taken to the next level! This is a truly sensual, mellow and easily accessible gin. The nose allows the additional fruit aromas to come forward, and these fruits also ensure a soft, pink colour. The pomegranate adds a particular (but not overpowering) sweetness to the gin too, which blends perfectly with the other fruit flavours. Good to know! For those of us that love elephants (Emma@ginfling is a big fan), by purchasing Marula Gin, you are helping these magnificent creatures. In return for using the forbidden fruit of the elephant tree, Marula Gin supports Elephant Whispers (a safe haven for elephants in Africa) by adopting elephants. Read more about Marula Perfect Serve This is best served in a large glass filled with lots of ice. Pour in 50ml of the gin, and then gently pour over 150 - 200ml of your chosen tonic. We recommend Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic, but if you really want to enshance the fruit flavours, try their raspberry and rhubarb tonic. Stir well, and garnish with some fresh (or frozen) red berries. For something a little different, try a 'King Louis' cocktail. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, mix together 50ml of Marula Pomegranate Gin and 15ml of lemon juice. Strain into a glass, and fill with 120ml of Fever-Tree Ginger Beer. Garnish with fresh red berries. Please, don't be like an elephant - drink responsibly!!

Hayman's Royal Dock Gin 70cl

Hayman's Royal Dock Gin In 1863 when James Burrough, opened a small distillery in Chelsea, London. He experimented with a number of gin recipes, giving them names such as Burrough’s, Olde Chelsey, Beefeater and Black Cat. It was James who poineered the London Dry gin which is known and loved today (at that time, London's gin of choice was Old Tom). It was this which led to the development of the Beefeater Gin brand.... but it also spurred the Hayman's gin brand. The current Master Distiller of Hayman's (Christopher Hayman) is the great grandson of James Burrough. Their Royal Dock Gin (their Navy Strength Gin), was first supplied to the English Admiralty in 1863. As this is a stronger gin, bottled at 57% it's bracing, yet smooth and bright. It has the perfect balance between the juniper, spiciness from coriander and citrus. Read more about Hayman's Perfect Serve This works well in a g&t, but also works well in the mix.

Gin always used to be rested in casks during the Gin Palace heyday of the 1800's, and so again Hayman's repeats history and uses old Scotch Whisky barrels to rest their gin in for a period of three weeks. The result of this short (gentle) resting period lifts the botanical flavours in the gin, enhancing the peppery spice notes. The result is a really smooth, well-rounded balanced gin. It has peppery and spicy notes from the dominant botanicals – juniper and coriander – which add to its full-flavoured individuality. Read more about Hayman's Perfect Serve Easily enjoyed with a tonic, however we really liked the spicy peppery notes paired with a fiery Ginger Ale. Take a large glass filled with ice and add 50ml of the gin. Gently pour over 150ml of ginger ale (we liked Fentimans Ginger Ale with this), and garnish with a slice of orange. This also works well in the mix, try in a martini paired with grapefruit bitters.

Met een beperkte oplage van slechts 1.500 flessen, is Hayman's English Cordial Gin een gin die is gemaakt om de stijl van gins te weerspiegelen die in de jaren 1800 werd genoten. Vol van smaak, warm, kruidig met een kruidige aardsheid - het is zacht en perfect voor de koudere maanden. De inspiratie werd gevonden in oude archieven, waaruit bleek dat Coridal Style gins destijds de meest luxueuze waren die er te vinden waren. Met zo'n beperkte release, pak een fles terwijl je kunt! Meer van Haymans Perfect Serve Dit is een perfecte gin om te mixen in cocktails, omdat de smaken hun eigen karakter behouden. Vanwege zijn ongelooflijke zachtheid is het echter ook een geweldige gin om te nippen. Maar zoals met alle Hayman's Gin's, is het ook een fantastische Gin & Tonic, en we houden hiervan met een klassieke Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic. Neem een groot glas gevuld met ijs en voeg 50 ml gin toe. Giet er voorzichtig 150 ml van je gekozen tonic over en roer voorzichtig. Garneer met enkele jeneverbessen.

Over 150 years ago, they were the first gin distilling family to include citrus as a key botanical in their gin. The result is a gin which is bursting with the flavours of vibrant exotic citrus fruits; kumquat, pomelo, Persian lime and mandarin. This ensures a gin which is bright, and fresh - full of citrus flavours which creates a deliciously elegant serve. On the nose there is the juniper, which is supported by sweet fresh citrus notes. On the palate, it imparts a tangy and zesty flavour with bright juniper and hints of spice. Whilst not a sweet gin, it is rounded with a delicate sweetness which balances the gin perfectly.

Hij begon in 1969 in het familiebedrijf en hoewel er veel is veranderd, is zijn liefde voor een klassieke, goed uitgebalanceerde London Dry Gin hetzelfde gebleven. Om zijn 50e jaar in het bedrijf te vieren, bottelden ze een klassieke London Dry op een hoger alcoholpercentage van 50%. Deze hogere sterkte zorgt voor de intensiteit van de botanicals, waardoor een gedefinieerde en klassieke gin ontstaat.

Giet er voorzichtig 150 - 200 ml tonic over en garneer met een vleugje citroenschil. Voor een heerlijke Rare Cut Martini neem je een mengglas met een paar ijsblokjes en voeg je 50 ml gin, 10 ml droge vermouth en een scheutje sinaasappelbitter toe.

Copper in the Clouds Marmalade Gin 70cl

Copper in the Clouds Marmalade Gin Created in 'The Distillery at Dowsett's Farm', Copper in the Clouds gin is a small company creating premium gin's in Hertfordshire. Historically, Hertfordshire (a county just to the north of London) was the hunting ground of the British Royal family, and is still relatively rural with numerous forests. They create their gins using locally sourced premium wheat spirit. Where possible, they use locally grown and sourced botanicals, and have even started growing some of their own botanicals on the farm in their recently created botanical garden. This attention to detail ensures a quality, and unique range of gins which they can rightfully be proud of! Each of their bottles is a piece of art itself. With this gin, they capture a marmalade cat (ginger) lying on a slice of bread peeling oranges - along with a rabbit and a jar of marmalade. This isn't just called a Marmalade gin due to the citrus uses in its creation, they actually use real marmalade! This is created using by the team at the distillery themselves. They use pink grapefruits, seville oranges and the peel from blood oranges in it's creation. This gives the gin a rich flavour, with an orange colour to it. This is entirely natural, and comes from the marmalade itself. As well as the marmalade, the other botanicals include juniper berries, coriander seed, licorice and angelica root, as well as more citrus flavours from orange and lemon peel. As you would expect, the flavour and aroma is sweet and zesty, exactly as you would expect from marmalade! More from Copper in the Clouds Perfect Serve As this is already a sweeter gin, we recommend enjoying with a lighter tonic. Fentimans Naturally Light Tonic works really well. However, if you want to increase the citrus flavours, try using their Valencian Orange Tonic. Take a large glass filled with ice and add 50ml of the gin. Gently pour over 150 - 200ml of your chosen tonic and stir gently. Garnish with a fresh orange wheel. It also works well in a spritz, when mixed with soda water, or even Prosecco. Truly versatile, it also adds an enticing edge to cocktails.

It's a certified B Corp™ and is owned and operated by a small husband and wife team of Adam & Steffie Elan-Elmegirab. They use a combination of traditional and modern production techniques, as well as British grain spirit as the alcoholic base of their drinks. They then source botanicals from across the globe, and produce entirely with natural ingredients - refraining from using artificial flavours, preservatives or colours. Fun Fact: The coat of Arms on the bottles is a homage to both the Aberdeen and London City Coats of Arms. The Black panther adds a reference to the hip-hop music listened to by the team on most days - as well as the original Old Tom branding which would commonly feature a Black Cat. As part of their exploration of global flavours, in July 2018 The House of Botanicals launched their Maple Old Tom. This was initially due to be only a limited edition, with just 1112 bottles produced - and was introduced at the Aberdeen Gin Fest. Due to its popularity, it was relaunched in March 2019 - becoming a permanent addition to their range. Whilst new to the House of Botanicals range, the production of Maple Gin goes back over 100 years. It was originally created by the Buffalo Distilling Company of New York between 1893 and 1918 (prior to the temperance movement and then prohibition. For their edition, the House of Botanicals use the same base as their Classic Old Tom. However they then lightly sweeten it with maple syrup (less than 25g per litre, so as not to 'over-sweeten'). The result is a delicious straw coloured gin. The nose has juniper and bright citrus notes - joined by piney juniper. On the palate there is a buttery mouthfeel, with bright and fresh piney juniper. This is perfectly balanced with hints of sweet maple, fudge, warm orange citrus, vanilla, and chamomile.

The Black panther adds a reference to the hip-hop music listened to by the team on most days - as well as the original Old Tom branding which would commonly feature a Black Cat. Whilst perhaps best known for their delicious Old Tom gins, they have now released their first non Old Tom, with their ABZ (the Aberdeen Airport Code) Dry Gin. This is made using a two stage process. Initially they use a traditional copper pot distillation of juniper berries, angelica root, orris root, coriander seed, cassia bark, almond, orange peel and lemon peel. After this, a second stage maceration is used with saffron threads, fennel seeds and just a hint of strawberry. The second preocess used preserves the more delicate flavours in these botanicals, which would be lost using traditional distillation. The result is a gin which has a light peach colour to it, with an aroma of piney juniper,  butterscotch, lemon and an underlying note of cracked black pepper. On the palate this has a rich, creamy mouthfeel - with the juniper and pine giving a strong back note to the gin. Bright citrus, warm sweet anise, and creamy strawberry lead into a finish of cracked black pepper which enlivens the taste buds. More from The House of Botanicals Perfect Serve This works perfectly as a long drink, mixed with either a dry tonic (such as Three Cents Dry Tonic), or Fever-Tree's Sicillian Lemonade.

Their Old Tom gin was released in April 2018, and was inspired by the botanical rich and lightly sweetened Old Tom Gins of the past. The base gin for this Old Tom is actually produced in London, which is a subtle 'nod' to the history of Old Tom gins. This gin is made with juniper berries, angelica root, orris root, coriander seed, cassia bark, almond, orange peel and lemon peel. This produces a gin which is rich in piney juniper, citrus and elegant spices. The gin is then brought to the team in Aberdeen. Here they transform the dry gin into an award-winning Old Tom. They macerate Moroccan Saffron and Chamomile Flowers in the gin, as well as adding the sweetness of an Old Tom gin with Muscovado Sugar. Once this process is completed, the final Old Tom gin is ready. The result is a delicious golden yellow gin. The nose has floral hints with spice and juniper dominating. On the palate the spice and juniper continue, and are joined by warming pine notes as well as hints of coriander. These lead into sweet citrus, and chamomile. The finish is long and fragrant, with both the sweetness and spice lingering to the end.
