Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin (70cl , 40%)
From Brockmans distillery comes Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin. It’s unique selection of botanicals including Tuscan juniper berries, Bulgarian coriander, blueberries, blackberries and bittersweet Valencian orange peel are steeped in grain spirit. It is then distilled in a 100 year old copper still, with the final gin boasting, as its name may suggest, an intensely smooth profile. The moody and opaque bottle is somewhat alluring…
Brockmans Gin reviews describe it as an “intensely smooth” gin with a prominent berry and citrus flavor profile, which can be a departure from traditional, juniper-forward gins. It is noted for being smooth enough to drink neat, but it also shines in cocktails like a Tom Collins or a bramble, where its berry and spice notes are refreshing. Some reviewers appreciate the fruity twist, while others find the berry flavor too overpowering for their personal taste.
Aroma and flavor
- Dominant notes: Berry and citrus, particularly blueberry, blackberry, and grapefruit, often cited as the most prominent flavors.
- Supporting flavors: Subtle notes of juniper, coriander, cassia, and ginger are sometimes detected.
- Overall profile: Reviewers frequently describe it as “intensely smooth,” sweet, and refreshing, with some noting a slightly spicy or warming sensation.
Palate and finish
- Palate: The taste is often described as fruity and vibrant, sometimes likened to a “dark, stormy fruit salad” or a “circus in a glass” due to the intensity of the berry flavors.
- Finish: The finish is typically smooth and long-lasting, with the berry notes lingering. Some describe it as dry, with a “refreshing” quality.
Suitability
- Ideal for: Those who enjoy softer, fruitier gins and may find traditional gins too harsh. It is a good choice for cocktails where a distinct berry flavor is desired.
