Sandy Gray Whisky Company Artisan Small Batch Gin
There's nothing shy about this gin; the powerfully emphasised juniper flavour is concentrated and punchy - precisely what most London Dry drinkers seek. Many gins add more to create interesting flavours; Sandy Gray adds botanicals to elevate the qualities of the juniper itself. Cassia emphasises the warm woody sap in juniper, and the pepperberry highlights spicy fresh pine needles. This accumulates in a driven and concentrated gin. The botanicals have moments guiding the overall flavours; bright candied lime sits upfront on the nose, and it’s incredibly inviting alongside the fresh pine. And in the finish, the dry-spiced botanicals create this lingering perfumed note. Like most London Dry styles, whilst the alcohol is well integrated, the style leans into a strong spirit quality, making it stand out in cocktails.
