There is no doubt that Craft Gin has become an all-time favourite beverage among gin connoisseurs around the world, with their extremely flavourful and aromatic experiences in terms of gin tasting. Craft gin distillers achieve their exquisitely unique tasting drinks by adding a combination of herbs, spices, fruits and florals called botanicals to the distilling process, in addition to the usual juniper berries that are a must in gin.
So, what are some of the top British craft gin brands that you should try?
- Misty Isle Pink – Infused with fruits such as raspberries, blackcurrants and pears, this gin offers a mildly sweet flavour.
- Rock Rose – This gin is uniquely manufactured using two types of juniper berries, and the addition of many local botanicals such as sea buckthorn, rhodiola rose and verbena, and offers strong floral and zesty flavours.
- Salcombe Rosé Sainte Marié – This handcrafted gin offers floral notes such as rose, lavender and orange blossoms, and has a strong floral flavour.
- BH1 – This gin is made using a combination of 13 botanicals including juniper, coriander, angelica, cloves, cinnamon and wild chamomile among others, and offers a wide contrast of flavours and textures.
- Cotswolds Wildflower – This gin is made using a range of local botanicals and infused with their own dry gin, to make a unique fruity and floral tasting beverage.
- The Lakes Classic English Gin – This gin uses additional botanicals such as orange peel, black pepper and earl grey tea to give it its unique flavour and aroma.
