A quality new pot-still American gin made from sugar cane in very small batches and distilled five times for extra purity, using natural botanicals that are macerated overnight in the still.

A batch-distilled American gin that's inspired by the fuller-bodied Dutch style and championed by Ryan Reynolds, whose body we can't comment on for legal reasons. Created by distillers Lee Medoff and Christian Krogstad, who teamed up with Seattle mixologist Ryan Magarian, this spicy, floral gin is made with rye neutral grain spirit and a ‘botanical democracy’ of juniper, cardamom, coriander, lavender, anise, sarsaparilla and orange peel. This is, unsurprisingly, excellent in an Aviation cocktail, but also works well in a Martini and a G&T.

A refreshing take on the classic Hendrick’s Gin, this gin is a tribute to the Midsummer Solstice. Using a secret selection of flowers, Hendrick’s have created a gin with an intensely floral bouquet that blossoms on the palate. The nose has notes of juniper mingling with delicate floral aromas, orange blossoms and zesty lemon notes. The palate offers notes of summer flowers that complement the classic juniper, spice and rose petal notes of Hendrick’s gin.

Hepple Gin uses an innovative three-level process for extracting botanical flavours. The heavier ones are distilled with the grain, lighter examples are vacuum distilled, and juniper flavour is extracted using carbon dioxide. Vibrant, intense and full of citrus and juniper flavour.

A gin specially designed by Jake Burger from the Portobello Star, home of the London Ginstitute. A solid and traditional London Dry Gin, distilled in west London.

After the roaring success of their Seville Orange vodka, here come Hereford's Williams Chase with the same formula aplied to their marvellous gin (made with organically grown apples, don't you know). An absolute joy, wonderful in G&Ts and we'd wager this would make a pretty mean alternative to a Negroni too, perhaps with a splash of Aperol.

This gin was created by two Germans living in New Zealand. When Bernd died, Joerg decided to continue the project and named it Broken Heart. Made using 11 botanicals, this is delicious in a G&T served with a slice of orange.

Little Bird London Dry Gin is made in small batches in the metropolis itself. The recipe includes 10 botanicals including grapefruit, orange and ginger (represented by the lady on the bottle). This works well both in a martini and as part of a classic G&T.

Edinburgh Seaside Gin is intended to evoke memories of summer at the beach. The botanicals include seaweed, ground ivy and scurvy grass and this will add a twist to your G&T.

A super-premium small-batch Tanqueray gin named after the No.10 still in which it is made. A superbly controlled explosion of botanical flavours, with much more citrus character than its Export Strength cousin.
