What to know before you buy
- It is a good gin for long drinks and cocktails rather than a purely sipping gin, according to some reviewers.
- The flavor is clear and crisp, both in appearance and taste, due to the use of water from the Brecon Beacons.
- Some find it a bit sweet on its own, so it might be a good idea to use half a measure and half a measure of a plainer gin if you prefer less sweetness.
