Dr J's Gin

Now summer is here (ha ha), it is gin time again and what a lovely time that is. As you may know our Dr J's Gin begins life from our English Spirit and then we pack in varieties of coriander, juniper berries, macadamia nuts, fresh zests and some magic. Our copper pot stills work their wonders and out pops our Dr J's at about 80.5% ABV. We cut back to 45% to ensure in the glass experience of one to one with your chosen mixer is the perfect expression of our gin.
We are asked a lot what is the best mixer. Well, never been a big fan of mixers as they vary so much and when you have spent an immense amount of time and effort creating your spirit the last thing you want to do is contaminate it with something.... shall we say... sub-standard. With this in mind, we set out to produce a gin that was perfect when served very simply over crushed ice - one to one. If you want a twist then set aside all your rinds and zests and do this:

Two fingers crushed ice, two to three salted capers (not the brine but the salt crystal version) and two fingers of Dr J's Gin. Sip and enjoy. Repeat ad libidum.
