Thomas Dakin Small Batch Manchester Gin

Description

Made with eleven botanicals including juniper, orange peel, English coriander, angelica, cubeb pepper and liquorice as well as “a hint of red cole” aka horseradish! It’s named after Thomas Dakin, who began producing gin in Warrington in the second half of the 18th century, founding what would later become Greenall’s. He was a pioneer who made gin of a surprising quality for the day, and who is rightly celebrated.

Tasting Notes

Tasted neat there’s a blast of fresh clean bitterness followed very quickly by a mellow sweetness (liquorice). It finishes with a horseradish bite and the pepper activates the tongue and the roof of the mouth.
