Plymouth Navy Strength

Plymouth Gin was one of The Gin is In’s earliest 5 Star Gin Reviews. As part of the 50 States of Gin tasting, we had a Navy Strength Gin tasting where we compared some of the big names in the industry to some of the new offerings from U.S. microdistilleries. Plymouth is the five hundred pound […]

No. 209 Gin

The Rudd family came up with the original idea for No. 209 Gin. Their background is in wine and fine food – they own Rudd Oakville Estate Winery and previously owned Dean & DeLuca  – so meticulous attention to detail and focus on quality is second nature to them. When they embarked upon the exploratory research for […]

Monkey 47

An unusual gin from the Black Forest in Germany, Monkey 47 contains a unique ingredient. No, not that! Cranberries! The 47 comes from the number of botanicals that go into this unique gin, and the fact it’s bottled at a healthy 47%. This plethora of ingredients has paid off, and in 2011 Monkey 47 won […]

Leopolds Gin

Hand crafted, hand bottled, hand labelled, and hand numbered, this small batch gin is truly unique.

Glendalough Summer Gin

The Glendalough Distillery was set up by five friends from Wicklow and Dublin with a deep passion for reviving the heritage of craft distilling in Ireland. In the 18th & 19th centuries there were over 200 licensed distilleries in Ireland (and countless unlicensed ones) producing diverse styles of poitín, whiskey, gin and even absinthe. Until […]

Fifty Pounds London Dry Gin

This is fifty… Fifty Pounds gin is distilled in small quantities, and in single batches. The name comes from the time of George II and the 1736 Gin Act, when a 50 pound tax was levied on those wishing to produce and sell gin. Only two distilleries agreed to pay the tax!  | ABV: 43.5% | Price: €6.50 […]
