Something for everyone with one being flavour perfection!
Agnes Arber Premium Gin is made using nine botanicals and is distilled by Langley Distillery in one of the oldest working copper gin stills in the United Kingdom.
The bottles are very eye-catching and I love that you can instantly identify which is which with the premium gin being a white bottle, the rhubarb a red bottle and the pineapple a yellow bottle. A lot of thought has gone into the branding with the artwork inspired by Agnes Arber’s books and illustrations. Even the shape of the bottle resembles the look and feel of one of her books. I’ll start with the Agnes Arber Premium Gin. A nice traditional, uncomplicated gin, with juniper to the forefront, followed by citrus in the form of lemon and grapefruit, then an ever so slight hint of liquorice sweetness and finally leaving a mild peppery finish from the coriander and cassia. Next up is the Rhubarb version which uses the original Agnes Arber Premium Gin infused with rhubarb juice. Don’t be fooled though as it’s still full strength at 41.6% ABV. It has a pleasing-to-the-eye, subtle pink tinge to it making it instantly identifiable as the rhubarb version. For me, this gin would work best in a cocktail with a nice dry Prosecco to cut through the sweetness and balance it out. However, if you have a sweet tooth this could be the gin for you! My final tasting was of the award-winning Agnes Arber Pineapple gin, which won Best Flavoured Gin at the 2021 Gin Guide Awards. Once again this version uses the Agnes Arber Premium Gin and infuses it with pineapple and a touch of mango. Again it is also full strength at 41.6% ABV. Highly deserving of its award this gin is delicious, even when sampled neat. Bursting with flavour this is a beautiful summery, easy-to-drink gin. As expected you instantly get juicy tropical fruits but it is well balanced by the gin botanicals. It sings of exotic holidays in the sun with its rich, fruity pineapple and mango flavour making it something a bit different. The range has something for everyone but for me the hero is the Agnes Arber Pineapple Gin - it’s a huge thumbs up from me.
