Description

This beautiful Rhubarb Gin is part of our own range of Gin liqueurs. Compounded the old fashioned way – the way you probably make Sloe Gin at home – by steeping diced rhubarb in London Dry Gin. We added sugar at the end of the process as we wanted to keep the tartness and sweetness nicely balance. Excellent with different mixers, but also incredibly balanced if consumed neat. Available in 35cl bottle and 70cl bottle

Rakish Rhubarb Gin Liqueur

This Rhubarb Gin is our latest flavour and a fantastic hit with customers when we tried out the first batch.

The perfect English summer flavour.

An amazing mix of sweet and tart, just like the best rhubarb and custard pudding.

Compounded the old fashioned way - the way you probably make Sloe Gin at home - by steeping diced rhubarb in London Dry Gin.

We added sugar at the end of the process as we wanted to keep the tartness and sweetness nicely balance.

We are still trying out different mixers but so far we have consumed rather a lot neat.

It is such a summery flavour.

A new flavour for us requested by customers.

We love Rhubarb crumble and stewed Rhubarb, but it was a number of customers who really suggested we try making this and we were really surprised by how great this turned out.

Making Gin

Finally, we want to underline that the London Dry Gin used to make our own Gin liqueurs is the highest quality style of gin possible.

In particular, it captures the lovely strong flavours of what used to be termed “Export Strength” Gins.

Distillers combine the base botanicals of Juniper and Coriander seeds with Lemon Peel and Lime Flower and then use Angelica and Orris Root which act as the fixatives bringing harmony to the different flavours.

The use of Lime flower therefore gives the Gin a very clean and refreshing taste.

In conclusion, see below the Tasting notes from the 2011 IWSC:

"Big, booming nose that gives everything a London Dry should do but more at the strength. Super active entry into the mouth yet gorgeously deep and mellow. All the flavour you could want in wonderful integration. Complexity gives super smoothness and velvet flow while retaining the lively character. Complex, long, refreshing finish. Aftertaste lasts for ever!"
