N.V. Smeaton`s Bristol Method Dry Gin 45%

This gin was nine years in development prior to its very soft launch just before Christmas 2017. It won`t have escaped your notice that huge numbers of gins have been launched onto the market and from being a spirit whose consumers` average age was about 80 now attracts many young people. Who is drinking it all? I haven`t spotted many avocado led entries so it can`t all be millenials. Though most of the new gins do seem to be entirely novelty-led, with a tenuous connection to both quality and authenticity, never mind craft skill.

I taste a lot of new gins and none came close to this in 2019: crystal clear, with pure botanicals singing from the glass. Mix it with a mild tonic or appreciate its true brilliance in a very dry martini.
