Weekly Gin Recommendation

• My Weekly Recommendation - Massingberd-Mundy Burrells gin
• Focussing on your heritage is a good brand story because you have something solid to base it on. It also gives natural prestige to what it is that your selling.
• The flip side of that is that you have to actually produce something that is worth of that prestige.
• The Massingberd-Mundy bases their story around the South Ormsby estate which was purchased in 1638 from the Skipwiths by Sir Drayner Massingberd.
• The South Ormsby estate was held for 400 years by the Massingberd’s who became Massingberd-Mundy in the 19th century.
• This is where the Massingberd-Mundy distillery takes it’s name.
• Head Distiller Tristan Jorgensen took on the mantle of producing this gin. He wanted a juniper led, traditional London Dry
• The nose is really interesting. There is a freshness to it. Almost a sweetness to the aroma along with a zestiness too.
• The flavour profile is breathtaking. You instantly get the juniper and dryness hitting you, then you get a citrus flavour followed by a sweetness followed by a bit of heat before the flavour drops off ever so slowly.
• The whole profile is so smooth. So smooth I would be happy to have this as a sipping gin. I don’t often say that.
• I tried this with my normal Mediterranean tonic and I have to say that this really enhanced the flavour even further. I would say there is a dryness to the gin which normally would niggle me, like a Negroni does, but in this case it adds to the experience.
• I think it would work with any light...
