I was lucky enough to be able given the opportunity to review The Dundee Gin Co gin. This is a ‘classic’ dry gin but beware as it is very easy to drink and is a higher proof 47% gin! The bottle and labelling are pretty standard and to be honest a bit dull. It certainly wouldn’t catch my eye and would sadly be overlooked by many … but looks can be deceptive. What it lacks in outward appearance, it makes up on with its taste. A huge tick for this family-owned company is its selling ethos; it has not succumbed to selling in supermarkets and via chains, but instead can only be found in small independent retailers thus supporting local business. This classic dry gin is produced in small batches and is made using ten botanicals from around the world including juniper berries, dried sweet lemon and orange peel and (my personal favourite) coriander seeds. A nice touch is that some of the botanicals in the range are locally sourced and freshly picked from the university of Dundee Botanic Garden. This gin can be enjoyed either neat or with tonic water and a citrus garnish. A smooth drinking gin which gives a multilayer velvety experience of tasting neat; a clear juniper taste to the fore, moving on to citrus, followed by a hint of liquorice and finally leaving a wee touch of lingering spice. A good solid Scottish gin that you really shouldn’t judge by its label. Give it a go as you will be very pleasantly surprised!

I received the Dundee miniatures pack. It had Dundee Gin and 4 Dundee Gin liqueurs.
The gin was the first thing I tried. With ice and a light tonic, it was delicious and refreshing, and I’m sure I could smell strawberries too.
The Dundee cake liqueur was my favourite, just the right amount of ...
The Dundee Gin Company was founded in 2017 and its first launch was that of a full-strength marmalade gin. This gin is now a liqueur in their range made using MacKays Dundee marmalade which if you've ever tried you'll know it's moorishly delicious and full of flavour.

The Dundee Gin Co was founded in 2017 with the launch of a full-strength marmalade gin. Although that gin has now been moved into one marmalade liqueur gin and a classic dry, the theme of marmalade has been a great way to stay connected with the city of Dundee.
The brand used this to continue th...
Such a beautiful selection form Dundee Gin and despite previous misconceptions and concerns about gin liqueurs being far too sugary, I was willing to give them a try after learning that the gin profile was more at the forefront of what they do alongside using local botanicals and working alongside o...
