This gin has shelf appeal, even if that display was in the highest-end spirits shop or even a crystal-glass showroom. Granted, this decanter isn\u2019t cut glass, but it has great stage presence and would look as pretty as a picture on one\u2019s drinks trolley.<\/p>\n
Paul has a passion for vintage glass of the 1950s and 60s and this exquisite presentation fits right in with that style. It\u2019s a gift-quality bottle which raises expectations of the beverage within. But would that extravagant packaging be the only redeeming element of this gin, or would the contents measure up? They did.<\/p>\n
Artingstall isn\u2019t the name of the producer. That\u2019s Minhas Micro Distillery in America\u2019s Mid-West. It\u2019s actually the maiden name of Paul\u2019s mother. He is obviously proud of both his mum and his gin. It takes advantage of eleven botanicals to present a balanced and elegant spirit. It has won a host of awards on both sides of the Pond including Silver Medal at London Spirits Competition and Bronze Medal at San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It was also awarded a double gold medal at last year\u2019s Spirits Competition during the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America annual convention. Not too shabby, I would say!<\/p>\n
Appearance: clear and water-white<\/p>\n
Nose: Floral, citrus and coriander<\/p>\n
Palate: smooth, refreshing, floral notes, luscious ripe berries and juniper. A sweet and pleasing profile<\/p>\n
Finish: medium with lingering citrus and warming spice<\/p>\n
Artingstall’s Brilliant London Dry Gin truly is an excellent spirit. Yes, it makes a delightful G&T, but my advice would be to try it simply served over ice in your best cut-glass tumbler.<\/p>\n
