Weekly Gin Recommendation

Weekly Gin Recommendation - The Only Way Is Gin

• I have been a fan of this brand before it even started to produce gin because Nikki Mendes starred on episode 7 of the show
• I was so excited despite the pandemic and the delays this caused that Nikki finally managed to release her gin.
• I wanted to show my support so I bought two miniatures.
• I really like this idea because it gives you a chance to properly review the gin.
• I was also interested to see if I could taste the elongation of flavour to the poppy seeds.
• The nose of the gin has very delicate aroma of the orange blossom
• The tasting profile starts dry followed by a sweet elongated taste with delicate citrus notes, culminating in heat from the alcohol before going dry at the back end of the profile.
• The taste neat is very delicate and surprisingly sweet. It is even more pleasant when an ice cube was added.
• As usual I tested with Mediterranean tonic and this is where this gin comes into it’s own.
• It is a really pleasant sweet, delicately citrus based G&T and one of those bottles that you can always count on to give to friends or family or have a cheeky G&T yourself.
• I would definitely serve with pink grapefruit and plenty of ice as I think this would take the flavour profile to a whole new level. It is a bit like adding blueberries to Brockmans
• This gin is smooth enough for a dry martini but would not work in my opinion
• I could however see this in an Expresso Martini or a Pornstar Martini and I really like the clover club or bramble serves on the website.
• If you are looking for a staple gin for G&T with potential for cocktails then this is the gin for you.
• It is definitely being added to my long list of gin wants.
