Gin: Gin is a spirit flavored with juniper berries. Distilled gin is made by redistilling white grain spirit which has been flavored with juniper berries. The most common style of gin, typically used for mixed drinks, is London dry gin. London dry gin is made by taking a neutral grain spirit and redistilling after the botanicals are added. In addition to juniper, it is usually made with a small amount of citrus botanicals like lemon and bitter orange peel. Other botanicals that may be used include anise, angelica, root and seed, orris root, licorice root, cinnamon, coriander, and cassia bark.

 

Bluecoat Gin

Plymouth Gin

Smooth and balanced, a dry style... definitely not in your face. This is great for cocktails and martinis, but may be overpowered by drinks with too many ingredients or ingredients that are strong and flavorful. One of the oldest gins. The company began in the late 1700s and is distilled at Black Friars distillery, the oldest ginned distillery on record.

$34.25

 

Boodles Gin

Boodles is is an extremely aromatic, almost oily textured gin. Strong aroma of Juniper. Not as dry as Plymouth or Bluecoat. Something like Bombay, but not as herbal. Excellent in gin and tonic's with the dried tonic and outstanding with a dry gimlet.

Plymouth Sloe Gin

Sloe gin is a liqueur made from sloe berries steeped in gin. It has a pleasantly fruity flavor, and is the base of many classic cocktails including the Sloe Gin Fizz, and the Blackthorn. Plymouth is a class act so this is a real cut above the average sloe gin you will find on the market.
