“Ginger Gin”

Smooth Ambler Greenbrier Gin

is Big, Bold, Bright and Spicy, something that just screams adventure.

Smooth Ambler Greenbrier Gin

has a little bit of stoney side to it when the aroma hit’s your senses. We admire the way the flavors were blended and using botanicals from the area with Greenbrier Gin. Ginseng makes us more curious as an after thought provoking ingredient. This is a distillery that is not afraid to try new things.

The videos displayed on youtube give you an insight that they discussed placing ginseng into their product. It’s a curious dilemma indeed and where do you draw the line, striking the right balance between overwhelming and indulgence.

I can’t help but think of Chief from “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” when he is offered Juicy Fruit Gum.

It’s just a part of me that I can’t let go. I would love to witness the ingenuity with this gin in ginger based cocktails, as it could lend itself to Asian appeal in a sushi environment.

The water and ingredients seem to be under control with a sweet vibrance toned properly to allow massive consumption. Personal touch on the bottle with hand written records, an aspect we love!

Pros

  • Remarkable Creation to New Gin
  • Trail Ride Gin
  • Good till the last drop
  • Proper Balance of Sweetness and spice
  • Pleasant Aftertaste

Cons

  • If you don’t like Ginger, Stay away from Smooth Ambler Greenbrier Gin .

Glenmore London Dry Gin Review

“The Sangria of Gins”

When is the last time you had something that over-delivered? We are talking about a product for 6.99, also the number of the beast, that truly stands out as an All Star Value.

This product is Glenmore Gin, it mixes well with fruit juice and soft drinks, and we are dying to have it in a custom made Sangria.

You just taste pure value that could get you into a little trouble if you’re not careful, but that’s life. In these tough economic times when you have Champagne taste on a shoe string budget, look no further than Glenmore London Dry Gin.

It seems a little displaced ,which could be used to play off it’s loud range, and it has a little bit of chalkiness that reminds me of charcoal. Could be that it is coming from Bourbon Country and some of the charred oak rubbed off on it.

I’d be willing to go all the way with this gin in a mixed drink provided the other ingredients were of high quality and worked well together. This is the good ole boy gin, what you see is what you get.

Pros

  • Extreme value that over delivers
  • Classic Approach that tells a tale of life and the good times
  • My go to mixer
  • not trying to oversell with marketing
  • Champagne taste on a shoestring budget

Cons

  • Will be overshadowed by Multi Million Dollar Brands

Martin Miller’s Gin Review

“Martin Miller’s Part Duex”

A redesign that let’s the gin speak for itself allowing you to become curious about Arctic Clarity.

Visual

Stands tall and proud still displaying Iceland and London’s flags. They seem to be flowing just a little more boastfully. The journey is clearly outlined in red allowing you to follow the voyage of greatness. Gin is imported through Kindred Spirits in Miami so this gin is a long ways from home. Design is much more simpler with the ingredients featured on the other side allowing safe passage.

Aroma

Just when you think things can’t get any better: They do. If you’ve been privy to Martin Miller’s London Dry Gin, Get ready for MM2.0.  There’s sort of a refinement here, that elevates your senses and smiles return.You get a little bit of juniper, but that is quickly pushed aside as you enjoy Florentine Iris, cassia bark, liquorice root, coriander, angelica(which is spelled anjelica on the bottle)

Entry

Soft with just enough balance to know it’s gin, just enough smoothness to know it’s magical.Again, Everything is blended together with a sort of softness clearly as a result of the quality of water.

Midpalate

Continues to be just as pleasant as our first acquaintance. Pleased to meet you, the pleasure’s all mine. Smile if you see a bar that has this because they know what they are doing.  If you don’t have a gin that satisfies your tastes, make your own. Slight burn that lets you know it’s alive, that quickly transitions itself into the Aftertaste.

Aftertaste

Gin still there letting you know all the wonders it has to offer. Tingling right down to our toes. Enough softness to make us drink more, enough comfort to know you’re home.

Final Thought: A spirit that belongs in any collection, I admire the high standards of perfection this gin has achieved.

  • The best life has to offer

  • They know they’re good, and it shows

“Martin Miller’s”

Given the time for explorer’s was just, Martin Miller’s westbourne strength doesn’t disappoint, it exceeds all expectations.As the story goes, in 1999, British entrepreneur and bon viveur Martin Miller and two friends set out to create the finest gin possible, no expense spared.

Visual

This gin tells a story, not only from the visuals but everything else in between. This is not a gimmick, this is an epic. All the legends are true.  Iceland’s and London’s Flag are displayed proudly, presenting you the best of both worlds.  A nice nautical map shows the journey from London to the promise land, charting the hard work that goes into making this gin. Beautiful Frosted glass on the side give you a glimpse into climate change: Cold, Dark, Beautiful.

Aroma

Extremely floral, like a bouquet of flowers, like walking into a green house with your own personal garden of hand selection.

Imagine the cleanest, purest pleasure  in a glass that allows you to take a whiff. This is Martin Miller’s Westbourne Strength. You really smell quality here, and you are lifted to a higher state of ecstasy. A little bit of everything is here, from vegetation and flowers to smiling flavors and sunshine. We are quite please to stop and smell the roses. Formulation number 7, combines juniper, orange and lemon peel, coriander, licorice, cinnamon, cassia, nutmeg, angelica, and orris root all there for you to smell and enjoy. Perfectly Balance, this exceeds are expectations and raises the bar.

Entry

If you haven’t drank the water yet you need to. It’s like drinking the nectar of the Gods. The definition of Smoothness. The water makes all the difference, and Martin Miller has taken quality to a whole new level. 1500 miles one way, and well worth it.

At their expense, they bring you one of the finest gins mankind has to offer. A gin worth dying for over and over again. It’s amazing that when you gather a first impression of this gin, Martin Miller is able to blend all the ingrediant together into a satisfaction that would make the Rolling Stones blush.

MidPalate

Consistent as the beginning, and pure bliss. I’m smiling as passions run wild through my mind. There are no sour points here, just the essence of gin taken beyond the norm. The quality shines through here as it is as pure as their intentions. It’s an all in one experience with all expenses payed.

Aftertaste

Clean. Pure. Satisfying. Satisfaction is all I can get from this gin. This is a gin everyone needs to experience once in their lifetime. Maybe twice. I’m confident that this will produce a new standard that all other distilleries will tip their hat too. There’s just a sort of happiness that allows you to reflect on your new found discovery. Marvelous.
