Williams Elegant 48 Gin, 70cl

Product Information

One gin certainly wasn’t enough for the Chase family and so their next gin was created using their award winning potato distilled spirit. With Williams GB Extra Dry Gin, William was looking for different flavours that would complement the rich creamy texture of the spirit. Spices are prominent in the selection of botanicals, with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, cloves and liquorice all making an appearance, together with coriander and lemon peel to add citrus notes and both juniper buds and berries to ensure a classic dry style. Cut down to a bottling strength of 40% ABV with spring water from the farm, Williams GB Extra Dry Gin feels altogether more autumnal, with notes of juniper and citrus complemented by hints of dark chocolate and rich spice. While theirpotato-based vodka was a smash hit, spuds were not right for the expansion into gin. The team, led by William Chase, turned to another crop on the distillery's estate, the 200-year-old apple orchards. The botanicals includejuniper, coriander, angelica, licorice, orris, orange, lemon, hops, elderflower, and Bramley apple. It is bottled at a flavorful 48 percent alcohol by volume (ABV, 96 proof). Bloom Gin offers an unexpected, floral twist from one of the world's oldest gin distilleries. It has been described as a "gateway gin," a "gin for women," and an "unexpected gin." All of these only begin to describe the wonders held inside this bottle. No matter your personal gin preference, it's one you will want to try. Special considerations needed to be made to distill gin alongside whisky and McEwan and his team made that happen. Among other things, an otherwise abandoned Lomond still at the distillery was transformed specifically for the process.

The distillery is a newcomer to the liquor scene and began operations in 2008 as "Brittain's First and Only Single-Estate Distillery." With the same base as their award-winning vodkas and carefully selected botanicals, a new line of gin was born and it now includes five very impressive spirits. Soft or bold, Leopold Bros. has a gin for your style. Though it started as a brewery, this brand has captured the attention of the world with their distilled spirits. Of all the gins out there, none hit the sweet spot between classic gin flavour and moreish complexity quite like No. 3. If you have room for just one gin on your shelf, we’d make it this one. Neptunia will be a limited-edition release that will be “available across most sensational retailers and bars from March 2022”.

It begins with a base spirit that is an unusual blend of wheat, potato, and barley.
