AROMA

A rich oaky vanilla with black cherry and dark chocolate. Heavy in Port but with notes of sherry too.

TASTE

There’s a big woody spice met with jammy forest fruits and a oaked port wine richness. All kept in check with a bold dry juniper.

FINISH

Dry pine and a warming sweet spice that lingers forever…

Three Year G&T

This gin deserves nothing less than to be sipped over a few big chunks of ice in your favourite tumbler. Add tonic to that equation and you have one of the tastiest G&Ts we’ve ever encountered.

The Ten Botanicals of our Port Barrel Gin

Our Dorset Dry Gin lays down a classic and Juniper-forward backbone to this unique barrel finished gin. Each botanical plays a role in delivering a bright and refreshing gin with a crisp dry spice, a comforting blend of citrus, and a long herbaceous finish from our Dorset inspired botanicals.

Gorse Flowers

Ulex europaeus

Lifting the Dorset Dry from its classic, London Dry foundation bringing a subtle floral sweetness and cut straw – once perfectly described as a ‘yellow brightness’.

Marsh Samphire

Salicornia europaea

Once distilled the salt is left behind in the still, adding to the Dorset Dry only the luscious and herbaceous green notes akin to green tea and a remarkable caramel sweetness.

Elderberry

Sambucus

The last botanical to join the Dorset Dry recipe – cooling blue fruit that calms the peaks and troughs of our botanical recipe. A good nose can pick out the lingering jammy finish of the Dorset Dry.

Juniper Berry

Juniperus communis

The vital component in gin and the headline act in the Dorset Dry.

Coriander Seed

Coriandrum sativum

A usual suspect in a London Dry, and used in the Dorset Dry in the absence of lemon peel in the botanical mix.

Angelica Root

Angelica archangelica

Works as a drying agent in the Dorset Dry, adding a bitterness that’s essential to its classic, London Dry gin foundation.

Orris Root

Iris germanica

Used less for its flavour and more for its trickery in binding and enhancing flavours, giving longevity to the gin.

Cassia Bark

Cinnamomum cassia

Cassia bark adds a layer of sweet spiced complexity to the Dorset Dry, bridging the gaps between the piney juniper and the bold citrus melody of coriander seed, bitter orange and lime.

Bitter Orange Peel

Citrus aurantium

Welcoming notes of warm rich sweet citrus that round off the spice and heat from juniper and cassia bark. This comforting orange is paired with the bright, crisp punctuation of fresh lime peel.

Fresh Lime Peel

Citrus × latifolia

Subtle when neat, yet when diluted with tonic the lime peel jumps forward, self-garnishing the drink with a refreshing lime zest bite. Clawingly dry, moreish and inviting.
