It's a special Wiltshire born and bred Single Estate London Dry Gin which is distilled in Wiltshire at their special distillery which is housed in Stockclose Farm, on the Ramsbury Estate.
Although it is in the tradition of a fine quality London Dry Gin style, it really does stand out on its own.
It's crisp but yet it is also smooth as it lacks the harshness of some London Dry Gins.
The flavour is alluring in its complexity. There's a hint of something that reminds me of vanilla, some woody undertones and a mysterious, spicy sweetness that stays on the tongue for a while. Which makes it very moreish!
The gin is combined with quince fruit which is grown on the estate itself which blends very well with the juniper, citrus, angelica and cinnamon and the other botanicals and spices that they use.
My wife and I tried it neat and with some high quality mixers (more on Double Dutch mixers in a little while) and I made a discovery that was new to me, apparently you can make an absolutely delicious Bloody Mary with gin instead of vodka, though I feel that with a gin of lesser status than Ramsbury Single Estate Wiltshire London Dry Gin, the experiment might not have worked nearly so well as it did!
When you buy your bottle of Ramsbury Gin you will appreciate the fact that so passionate and dedicated to the entire concept of being a producer of genuine single estate gin that they proudly display the coordinates of the field in which the grain was grown. And you can't get more dedicated than that!

A 70cl bottle of 40% vol gin will cost £29.50 and we think it will make an ideal Father's Day gin for the Dad who loves his gins!
