It’s been said that Bombay Sapphire might be a suitable gin to start vodka drinkers on, as it’s light and very subtle. It appears that Hoxton Gin may have taken this one step further, with a gin that your malibu totting friends will love.
It’s not one I’ve had the chance to taste, but it seems to certainly polarise opinion and I’d suggest you try it before you buy it!
I tasted it at Gerry’s. Very strange: predominantly coconut and the grapefruit comes through too. Not sure I picked up on iris. I find it a bit cloying and it feels like drinking perfume, but it’s not foul—it’s just not gin. (What I now call the Brockman’s Syndrome.)
Nice little summary, I look forward to hearing more. Hopefully there will be something at the Juniper society, it a very an usually tasting product and I keen to find out their angle.
I’ll update the post, as I got the opportunity (for want of a better word) to try it at Graphic recently.
We couldn’t access their website, even after multiple tries.
