“Union Jack is Back.”

A sense of relaxation comes over from entitling oneself to take in the swift aroma of Beefeater 24. I see men marching and Big Ben chiming in, all while flying first class British Airways.

Beefeater has always been a traditional London Dry Gin, and Beefeater 24 brings a modern twist on a timeless classic. The tea and grapefruit ingredient add character and depth, with complexity not found in any other gin on the market. This is a lot to say since just the right delicate touch of citrus not only compliments the aroma but also the taste and finish. It’s balance and streamlined enough to make the royal guard blush.

It’s versatile enough to be mixed with anything or enjoyed neat. It bring’s me back to my early years in college when we go out mid day to socialize and experience what life has to offer: Fun, laughs and good stories.

There is a coolness about Beefeater 24, much like James Bond, that you simply can’t get enough of… a very rewarding gin and open’s doors to the concept “Tea Party.” You can always make something better which can result in exciting and unexpected outcomes with Beefeater 24.

As I have reviewed gin before, this seems to be one of the easiest gins to review because it’s so likable, approachable, and pleasant; it’s done right, with the correct amount of fineness and finish to keep you coming back for more. Think of it as a new acquaintance you feel you have known all your life, a little bit of Deja Vu brought on by the smell of satisfaction.

Beefeater 24 brings new ingredients to a traditional model and it works. The tea allows us to dip into realms of uncharted territories and be creative in today’s society. I love how fun this gin is, as it opens doors to new things, and reunites old favorites together from different corners of the world. Beefeater 24, made in London, and made for the world to enjoy.

“Textbook Gin”

Another day in paradise, your senses are alive, and there’s a smile on your face.  On the back end you sense a waxiness, that offers its self from the Seville Orange Peel. Heavy Juniper cloaked around your cape as the sun salutes you. The coriander in this concoction has a lemony-orangey Character which complements the lemon and orange peel. What makes this Beefeater different is that there is enough Juniper to go around.

Beefeater lends itself to create a presence all it’s own, something one can fairly sip knowing you are drinking gin. While the richness of the ocean is the juniper, the froth on the top of the sea is the coriander. The angelica root, which we refer to as wild celery, hangs out of your mouth, as a gentle touch is necessary to find that perfect selection.  It brings visions of dark chocolate aromas, that quickly fade as the tide rolls in. Think of dark chocolate truffle kissed running down your neck.  Angelica root is responsible for bringing the romance to your summer beach nights, as it ties all the other ingredients of love together.

Hints of licorice swell to your next adventure, not knowing where it might take you, but feeling relaxed all the same. Basking in the the glorious day of sunshine replenishment.  Knowing you are on an European  Beach lets the licorice candy run wild through your imagination. It’s a classic tradition that carries you away from day to night.

Almonds send you into Ecstasy bringing your lips closer for one last touch, and the closeness of Orris is not far behind, used in the world’s best perfumes. It’s the seductive quality that leads you on this ten ticket thrill ride, a roller coaster of emotion, that that is left in your mouth at the end of the ride.

Beefeater is a Gin that I could indulge myself in all night long, wanting more.

Pros

  • Classic Gin at it’s best
  • Phenomenal Value
  • Aromatic Ecstasy
  • Consistent Ambiance
  • Available Everywhere

Cons

  • I’m all out
