  Isle of Arran Gin Co. Arran Gin (700ml)

  Sold Out

  ABV: 42%

  Tasting note: Made from hand-foraged botanicals from the Isle of Arran, the distillation and bottling takes place on the mainland not too far from Edradour. On the nose, it's a curious arrangement of potpourri combined with ginger bread, cinnamon, white pepper and frail nutmeg; air-time adding hints of nettles, seashells and low key grapefruit. The dryish delivery finds earthy juniper and lavender with crushed pine buds and pepper developing through the finish. The result is a slightly disjointed coastal style. Odd yet interesting. Try it with Rose Lemonade or Mediterranian Tonic. 42% Alc/Vol.

  "...really fresh, like a coastal Scottish breeze – it’s quite transportational." - fromtheginshelf.com

  One of a growing number of maritime-influenced gins, Barra arrives from Scotland’s most westward Isle of the same name. The gin is vapour distilled using seventeen botanicals, the most unusual contribution being from foraged carrageen seaweed - a type of red algae that grows on the shores and shallows surrounding the island. Like many of the other seaweed varieties found on the Scottish coast, carrageen is harvested after the Spring tides when the water is furthest from the shore. Each piece of seaweed is washed with fresh water and left outdoors for 5-6 weeks for the wind and sun to dry or ‘bleach'. It all sounds very exotic, and while you might detect hints of kelp and rock pools in the profile, Barra is essentially a full flavoured London dry with a twist. Aromatically, the bouquet offers a combination of saline-juniper-citrus freshness; the entry is light and breezy but fills out considerably becoming creamy and full bodied with flavours leaning towards ripe Meyer lemons, woody juniper, applemint, anise and sea-spray. The finish ramps up the intensity accenting zesty peel, pepper and warming spices. Uncut it's a gin with nice texture and kick, but one that should also stand up to mixing. The clearance price makes for a steal. Stock up for Summer. 46% Alc./Vol.

  Other reviews... On the nose, it smells amazing! Juniper, florals and citrus are all present with a subtle saltiness coming through. The floral and sweet notes come through on the palate with a hint of warming spice, while the finish has a slight salinity and a long burst of herbaceous menthol from the carageen. I’ll be honest, with the first few sips, I’m not blown away. It’s such an unusual flavour profile and miles away from what I was expecting. The more I go back to it however, the more pleasant I find it, as my palate adjusts. It’s really fresh, like a coastal Scottish breeze – it’s quite transportational. - fromtheginshelf.com

  $899.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 43%

  Another Gin entry from Ireland, named in honour of one of our Belfast's lasting legacies, the Belfast sink, a.k.a. the Jawbox. Slowly distilled in a traditional copper pot still, botanicals are steeped overnight in the warm spirit. As well as this, three of the botanicals use the vapour extraction method to preserve their delicate flavour and aroma. This is reportedly the first Irish Gin to be 100% harvested, distilled and bottled by hand on one estate.

  Tasting note: [20ml sample] The nose builds with good freshness and intensity, accenting piney, sappy, green aromas over hints of citrus peel and white pepper. Middle-weight with a juniper and citrus led delivery. Budding spices gain momentum towards the finish. Fades with hints of lemon verbena / home-made lemonade and faint juniper. A well crafted London dry with a pleasing interplay of spice and citrus. The producers recommended trying it with Ginger Ale and a wedge of lime. 43% Alc./Vol.

  Jensen's Old Tom Gin (700ml)

  Bottle

  $1199.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 43%

  Founded by avid Gin historian, Christian Jensen, this micro distillery is at the vanguard of Gin distillation’s return to its spiritual home of London. Using a 500 litre, stainless steel and copper still made in London by John Dore and co. head distiller Dr Anne Brock meticulously crafts tiny batches based on Christian’s extensive research. Jensen’s Old Tom is based on a recipe Christian sourced from a distiller's handbook written in the 1840s.

  A recreation of the Gin style first shipped to America, this isn't sweet like most modern Old Toms, but dry and earthy with an accent on root botanicals. In fact it meets the EU requirements for London Dry Gin. Jensen’s Brand ambassador, Hannah Lanfear (also one of planet Earth’s more talented bartenders) recommends it for robust cocktails like the Negroni or for a prototypical Martinez.

  Tasting note: Clear. Light to moderate aromas of mineral, white pepper and orris root (?) Low key juniper and citrus peel. A very pure, soft-textured style with a delicate earthy / peppery edge. Very subtle flavours hint at juniper, coriander and parsnip through the creamy finish. Ends dry, fresh, warming, perfectly balanced. Quite dry for the genre. 43% Alc./Vol.

  "London Dry gin at its most refined." - martiniwhisperer.com

  Founded by avid Gin historian, Christian Jensen, this micro distillery is at the vanguard of Gin distillation’s return to its spiritual home of London. Using a 500 litre stainless steel and copper still made by the UK's John Dore and Co., Head Distiller Dr Anne Brock meticulously crafts tiny batches based on Christian’s extensive research. Their Bermondsey expression is a nuanced interpretation of London Dry, alternatively described as a recreation of a lost, full-bodied style using a more balanced recipe than became common in the latter part of the century. Less juniper centric, it shines a light of the full spectrum of classic gin botanicals, making it the quintessential choice for dry Martinis. All botanicals are steeped in the still in British wheat base spirit. The precise list of ingredients remains undisclosed.

  Our tasting found moderate aromas that are initially juniper-forward, then bordering on floral. Air contact adds subtle coriander, distant whiffs of black pepper, lemon peel and piney eucalyptus-like freshness. This is a gin that's easy to sip straight, with nicely integrated juniper, lemon myrtle and white pepper flavours and a creamy, delicate pine wood finish. All up, it's a soft, dry, middle-weight London Dry style to suit a variety of applications, with Martinis topping the list. 43% Alc./Vol.

  Other reviews... No one botanical dominated, rather it was a harmonious whole. Although it can be versatile enough in a range of cocktails, or a G+T, it seems to me that this gin is destined for the Martini. Clean, and subtle, you get the hints of the botanicals as you go along. A very agreeable cocktail hour companion indeed. It epitomised the class you expect from the golden era of Martinis in London at places like the Savoy or Dorchester.  Refinement in a glass. - martiniwhisperer.com

  ...Aroma of coriander and bright citrus notes are first to appear before juniper and a little licorice sets in. There may be less juniper in the batch, but because the gin lacks earthy, rooty aromas, it allows the other botanicals to rise higher and shine a little brighter. The gin is soft on your palate and seems to quickly leave without leaving much bitterness from the piney juniper. A hint of violet whispers to you an adieu. 90 points - distiller.com

  Jinzu Gin (700ml)

  SCOTLAND

  $69. 99

  Bottle

  $839.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 41.3%

  This was the gin that won Diageo's "Show Your Spirit Competition" in 2013, which challenges Europe's bartenders to create exciting new spirits for inclusion in Diageo’s Reserve Brands portfolio.

  The winner, Dee Davies, merged traditional botanicals with cherry blossom, yuzu and sake to create an East meets West hybrid. The gin went into production at Diageo’s Cameronbridge distillery in Scotland and was initially distilled under the watchful eye of Tanqueray's Tom Nichol. The Junmai sake was also produced onsite. After the two components were blended, the gin was cut back with demineralised water. In short, it's a gin that's Scottish made but Japanese inspired (the name comes from a river in the Toyama prefecture). For anyone who enjoyed Cambridge Distillery's wonderful 'Japanese Gin', this should equally appeal. Jinzu has already garnered very good reports on the blogosphere. The beautiful packaging is a plus.

  Tasting note: Atypical aromas with an interesting fruity aspect: mandarnine / lemon? Green apple? Fruit blossom? Muted whitepaper warmth. Viscous, mildly yeasty-bready entry building with low key juniper and flavours of herbal tea and chamomile, turning almost sake-like to finish. Excellent balance. Intriguing Asian-inspired gin. 41.3% Alc./Vol.

  Sold Out

  ABV: 49.3%

  The Anchor Distilling Company, established in 1993, is dedicated to creating very small batches of traditionally distilled spirits of many types and styles.

  Junípero Gin is another addition to the classic 'dry gin' tradition, utilizing more than a dozen botanicals in their natural state, in a small copper pot still at Anchor’s Potrero Hill distillery in San Francisco.

  But the wonderful challenge for the contemporary distiller is in selecting and blending from a wide variety of additional, exotic botanicals in order to impart a uniquely satisfying, balanced character to his gin. Anchor Distilling have taken delight in the adventure of researching and experimenting with many such botanicals. They believe they have achieved a distinctive, intriguing complexity in their Junípero Gin: light and crisp and clean, combining a spiciness – the formula for a Martini with subtle delicacy. Martini Republic’s description hits it on the head: “Clean but not light like Plymouth. It is smooth but not the least bit tame, the spices shining through and the finish leaving a bit of a tang in the nose. The aroma is not as strong as, nor as mediciny as Bombay.”  While Lawrence Marcus from Variety comments, “...this does the London Dry style better than anything from the U.K. Power, spice, perfume and balance: It might be the most perfect gin around.”
  

  Tasting note: Brilliant clarity. Opens with some unusual linseed oil-like aromas but settles into a restrained, fresh lemon peel, pepper, spice and piney juniper profile with impressive purity and balance at high abv. A vibrant, elegant and crisp gin for stylish martinis. 49.3% Alc/Vol.

  A new gin boasting 48 botanicals grown in the distillery's garden including juniper berries, which it boasts as an Australian first. The label references an encounter with a marsupial friend at the distillery door, and is also a tribute to the best-selling German gin, "Monkey 47".

  Says proprietor, John Lark, "“To date it’s the first Australian estate-grown juniper to go into a gin and we put it into Koala 48 with 47 other botanicals from our block. It’s created this very quirky and complex gin with lots of layers that start off with a nose of green coriander and finishes with pineapple, bitter lemon and a whole range of cottage garden things going on." He adds, “There’s also a really wonderful expression of fresh juniper in there... One of the things that is really noticeable to us about this is when you pick a fresh juniper berry off one of our trees and compare it to the dried product that’s coming into the country from overseas, it’s like picking a tomato out of your backyard and comparing it to one from the supermarket, there’s this astounding fresh and wonderful flavour.”

  Sold Out

  ABV: 42%

  Established in 2016 in Ballarat, this is the first distillery in the region since the 1930s. The venture takes its name from 'kilderkins', small oak barrels (equivalent to 18 Imperial Gallons or 81.8 litres). Perhaps more familiar to whisky lovers, these casks have otherwise been traditionally used for ales. The pot stills here are designed to produce a lighter bodied spirit. To achieve this end they commissioned Peter Bailly, a highly regarded still maker from Knapp Lewer Contracting in Hobart. Presently two signature gins are produced, a London Dry Gin and an "Australian Gin". They also have whiskies aging and expect to offer mature spirits as of 2019.

  Tasting note:The Larrikin employs native ingredients complemented by traditional juniper and coriander. Perfectly clear. Leaner, drier and more herbaceous on the nose than 'The Scoundrel'. Offers attractive aromas of potpourri, anise and woody juniper with hints of lemon peel in the mix. Creamy and delicately spiced; lemon myrtle and aniseed flavours emerging in the aftertaste. A nice arrangement of 'old' and 'new' botanicals. 42% Alc./Vol.

The producers notes say to expect hints of dried plum, limey zest and a unique roasty character along with strawberry and lemon notes.

  Tasting note: One of the more unusual Australian gins: The nose evokes cloves, peppercorns, green olives, lemon thyme and light brine. Medium bodied with creamy textured flavours of roast herb, clove and coriander seed. To cap off the bush tucker theme, it comes bottled at 50.7% ABV - the same as Australia’s highest recorded temperature at Oodnadatta in 1960.

The venture takes its name from 'kilderkins', small oak barrels (equivalent to 18 Imperial Gallons or 81.8 litres). Perhaps more familiar to whisky lovers, these casks have otherwise been traditionally used for ales. The pot stills here are designed to produce a lighter bodied spirit. To achieve this end they commissioned Peter Bailly, a highly regarded still maker from Knapp Lewer Contracting in Hobart. Presently two signature gins are produced, a London Dry Gin and an "Australian Gin". They also have whiskies aging and expect to offer mature spirits as of 2019.

  Tasting note: Botanicals include grains of paradise, cinnamon verum, green and brown cardamom. Crystal clear. Issues fresh aromas of orris root, coriander, peppercorns, lemon meringue and juniper. Follows through with medium dry flavours of lemon sorbet, distant coriander and cough lozenge. Finishes pleasantly warming and medium long with muted juniper and spice in the aftertaste. 42% Alc./Vol.

  Koval Dry Gin (500ml)

  Chicago, Illinois, UNITED STATES

  $84. 99

  Bottle

  $1019.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 47%

  Distilling whisky since 2008, Koval are now offering two gins (this and a barrel aged version), both organic and grain-to-glass, certified Kosher and beautifully presented to boot. The labels are designed with argyle die-cutting and bronze foil patterns while the gin itself is made with a variety of woodland spices, juniper and wildflowers. Expect golden citrus flavours combined with white pepper and a round, floral body.

  Tasting note: Slightly viscous / ideal clarity. Complex aromas of dried juniper, crushed tea tree leaf, balsa wood, peppermint, white pepper and lime peel following through to a dryish, medium bodied gin; fresh and keenly balanced with flavours of woody juniper, menthol, delicate lime, pepper and a drying, sawn pine aftertaste. Distinctively styled with a strong pine / juniper emphasis. 47% Alc./Vol.

  Other reviews... This certified organic gin unfurls bold pine and spearmint aromatics, plus a hint of lime peel. The rounded palate echoes that pine and hint of lime, but it's the anise note that really builds and reverberates into the drying finish.

  Koval Barreled Gin (500ml)

  $1079.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 47%

  A follow-up to Koval Dry Gin which debuted in 2015, this expression includes the same botanicals (rosehip, juniper, angelica root and coriander), but adds a new level of depth from the spirit's six months resting in Koval's x-whiskey barrels (Bourbon, mostly). Like its sibling, this comes brilliantly packaged with argyle die-cutting and bronze foil patterns through the label.

  Tasting note: Brilliant pale gold. Beams from the glass. Excellent aromatic lift with pine sap and rooty / white pepper notes combined with peppermint chocolate and muted cough lozenge sweetness. Middle-weighted with a silky, woody-juniper entry followed by butter menthol lozenge and hints of vanilla in the finish. Beautifully composed, very elegant barrel aged gin. 47% Alc./Vol.

  Other reviews... The gin's pine is present, to be sure, but it's balanced with a web of sweetness and spice — sort of like your spice rack teamed up with a touch of butterscotch and wandered into the forest. Add an ice cube to round off the gin's hot edges, and what's left is a perfect sipper that can please gin and whiskey drinkers alike. - Josh Noel, Chicago Tribune

  Kyro Distillery Napue Gin (500ml)

  FINLAND

  $69. 99

  Bottle

  $839.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 46.3%

  A new Finnish venture that came about after a sauna and drinks session. The distillery operates from inside an old Cheese factory, located by the river Kyrö in Isokyrö, a small town with a population of about 5,000. After enduring two years of building and bureaucracy, the first rye spirit was turned out in 2014.

  Pronounced "Na-pu-eh" the gin is made from a pot distilled rye base that includes botanicals such as meadowsweet, sea-buckthorn, cranberries and birch leaves. It was awarded “Best Gin for Gin and Tonic” at the prestigious International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), competing in a blind tasting with 150 other distilleries. The casked-aged version also won gold in the same category.
  There's a lot happening in this little gem, and we suggest keeping it simple, or just adding lemon, lime and/or cucumber as a G&T.

  Tasting note: Clear and slightly viscous. Unusual floral / red berry / ribena-like opening scents are followed by fresh notes of juniper / thyme and delicate citrus peel. Almost oily with a creamy, mildly spiced entry and a tangy, piney juniper, sweet oregano, pepper and lemon myrtle finish. Excellent persistence. Love the texture here. 46.3% Alc./Vol.

  Langtons of Skiddaw No.1 Gin (700ml)

  Bottle

  $1079.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 40%

  From England's Lake district, Langton's is a product of two Lakelanders who use as many local ingredients as possible. The catalyst for the project was the discovery of an aquifer that sits under the mountain of Skiddaw. Their borehole taps into this source and is filtered through black slate. The purity and the pH of the water gives Langtons a slight sweetness perfectly balancing the blend of eleven botanicals.

  The base spirit is four-times distilled from grain, via a copper pot still. An unusual ingredient includes oak bark. The bottle, which is made in the north of England, reflects the contours of Skiddaw and the layers of slate from the aquifer. 40% Alc./Vol.

• Leopolds American Small Batch Gin (700ml)

  Denver, Colorado, UNITED STATES

  $99. 99

  Bottle

  $1199.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 40%

  Launched in 2002, Leopold’s American Small Batch Gin is made by distilling each of the 6 botanicals (juniper, orris root, cardamom, coriander and hand-zested Valencia Oranges and Pummelos) separately and then blending the six distillates together to make this hand-bottled, labelled and numbered gin.

  If gin can be produced by adding the botanicals to the still before distilling the entire steep in one run, you might ask, why distill separately? Leopold's explains:

  "...not all botanicals (juniper, coriander, etc.) have the same boiling point, so when a distiller distills all the botanicals together, searching for the best juniper flavor, for example, he/she is overboiling the coriander.

  When botanicals are overboiled, tannin-like flavors are extracted, drying out the final Gin. We take a different tack by placing each individual botanical in the still and distill them off separately. We carefully make cuts like you would for a whiskey: heads, hearts, and tails. The heart portion is when, as an example, the fruity-floral nose of the juniper is at its cleanest. After the heart has been collected, the refined juniper nose gets muddled and cloying, smelling and tasting a bit like pine trees. We discard this portion, favoring the cleaner hearts portion, and this lends our spirit its rounded, clean finish that is unlike any other gin in the world. We apply this method for the rest of our botanicals: Orris Root, Cardamon, Coriander, and hand-zested Valencia Oranges and Pummelos, carefully extracting the best aromas that these botanicals have to offer. The result is a softer, brighter, and more approachable spirit.

  Other reviews... Clear. Aromas of vanilla taffy, dusty tissue, ground pepper, and faint juniper follow through on a round entry to a dry light-to-medium body with faint golden raisin, pine needle, and spice notes. Finishes with a white peppercorn, citrus pith, anise powder, and talcum powder fade. Try in Bloody Marys.40% Alc./Vol. 88 points (Highly Recommended)

  Tasting note: [10ml sample] The very first spirit produced by The Port of Leith Distillery Company. The name is inspired by Dr. James Lind of Edinburgh who conducted one of the first clinical trials noting scurvy patients benefit from citrus. Key aromas include juniper and citrus followed by white pepper, lime peel and coriander, so more-or-less classic London Dry. Just five botanicals make for a deliciously creamy, mouth filling gin (without being over the top); dense juniper, grapefruit and hints of lime peel vie with pepper and coriander seed. Beautifully balanced gin in a beautiful bottle. 44% Alc./Vol.
