Product description
Berkeley Square is a super premium London Dry Gin distilled by the oldest gin producers, G.&J. Greenall, owned and distributed by Quintessential Brands.
Gin is distilled in a copper still No. 8, and the entire distillation process is extended to 48 hours. The gin formula includes juniper berries, cubeb pepper, basil, lavender, sage, angelica root, coriander seeds, almonds and kaffir lime leaves. "On the first day, the basic ingredients - juniper berries, coriander, angelica and peppercorns - are placed in a copper still together with lime leaves. The next ones - lavender, basil and sage - wrapped in cotton muslin are poured with triple-distilled grain spirit to release the maximum aromas and flavors. On the second day, distillation takes place extremely slowly so that the vapors, and consequently the distillate, absorb the aforementioned aromas and flavors." Berkeley Square debuted in 2008 and over the next decade won several prestigious awards and distinctions, including a gold medal at the International Spirit Challenge in 2016.
Berkeley Square is a very elegant gin; in the aromatic bouquet, intense notes of juniper and lemon intertwine with basil, sage and a bit of forest floor. In taste, a harmonious combination of juniper, herbs and citrus with notes of licorice and a bit of coriander. This gin deserves to be tasted in its pure form, we also recommend it with a delicate premium tonic, a piece of lime and a basil leaf.
