Berkeley Square London Dry Gin is versatile, has a nice juniper forward flavor, but also a unique touch that sets it apart from other juniper forward gins. It’s more or less a halfway point between the punch of Greenall’s classic gin and Bloom. Its recommended to any gin fan in search of a smooth, easy to drink gin that puts the juniper up front but embraces some of the creativity of contemporary styles.
Berkeley Square London Dry Gin Tasting Notes
This gin is actually quite striking, very inviting. Bright lemon, some juniper and a touch of floral sweetness, violets and lavender. Smells contemporary with a couple of classic botanicals making their appearance. Fortunately for Berkeley Square Gin, the aftershave parallel runs no further than the bottle.
The taste is quite nice and brings it back a few steps towards classic. Juniper and robust earthiness up front, quiet and never sharp. There’s a bit of heat in the Gin’s middle notes, but fades gently. A touch of herbal citrus on the close, crisp and refreshing. And this is just neat. I’m quite impressed.
Cocktails
Mixing Berkeley Square Gin with tonic, a bit more or the herbal and floral notes come out. I’m a touch surprised at how varied the tastes can be. Sage, lavender but only a hint of juniper. This is quite nice, remarkably accessible
