Expert's description

Instead of steeping sloe berries in an already-distilled gin, Masons of Yorkshire adds the berries right at the start and distils them alongside the rest of the botanicals - a slower, but more integrated method.

Expert's description

Masons Slow Distilled Sloe Gin is an English gin distilled with sloe berries and bottled at 42%.

The gin is built on the same base as Masons Dry Yorkshire Gin The Original, but adds sloe berries during the distillation itself rather than letting them steep in the finished gin afterwards. The method produces a natural sweetness and a lingering dryness that sets it apart from many other sloe gins.

The result is a complex hedgerow of flavour and aroma, where sweet blackberry and a touch of spice meet the sloe berry's characteristic tartness.

Tasting notes

Nose

Sweet blackberry and a touch of spice meet juniper and a hint of liquorice.

Palate

The palate is complex, with sloe berry and spice first, before juniper breaks through to balance the sweet, lingering berry fruit.

Expert's description

Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin is a German Gin distilled from 47 botanicals in the Black Forest and bottled at 47%.

After World War II, RAF officer Montgomery Collins settled in the Black Forest, where he ran the guesthouse "The Wild Monkey," named after Max, a monkey he had sponsored at Berlin Zoo. There he distilled his own Schwarzwald Dry Gin until the guesthouse closed in the 1970s.

Decades later, a hand-labelled bottle and a note with Collins's botanical notes were found hidden in the building. This inspired Alex Stein and Christoph Keller to recreate the recipe as Monkey 47.

The 47 botanicals combine British gin traditions, Indian spices and local Black Forest plants, including spruce shoots, lingonberries, sloe berries, elderflower and bramble leaves.

After distillation, this Sardinian gin is transferred to chestnut casks that previously held Vernaccia wine, concentrating all the aromatic elements of the botanicals from the wild Sardinian macchia.

Expert's description

Old Grifu Gin Matured is an Italian gin from Silvio Carta, bottled at 42%.

Following the initial distillation, the gin is transferred to chestnut casks previously used for ageing Silvio Carta's Vernaccia wine, resulting in a concentration of all the botanicals' aromatic components.

The end result is a tribute to the wild herbs of Sardinia, where the distillery's experience with Vernaccia winemaking directly influences the gin's character.

The cask ageing gives the gin an amber, coppery hue that sets it markedly apart from clear-distilled gins.

Tasting notes

Nose

The nose offers citrus notes and Mediterranean scrub with a light smoky finish.

Palate

The palate is gently citrusy, playing well against the spiciness and the soft, warm notes of chestnut.

Finish
