Miller's Gin

Since it has been a while since I have graced this blog with something passing as an entry I thought it might be high time that I rectified the situation.

Currently, the lady and myself have been drinking Miller's Gin. A very interesting London gin in that it is distilled in Ol' Blighty and then shipped to Iceland for the final ingredients and the far superior Icelandic water. The results are surprisingly good. In fact, they put your standard 'top shelf' brands that one finds (Tanqueray and Bombay Sapphire) to shame.

Miller's is a very smooth gin, pleasant on the palette with almost no harsh bite, and has a sweeter flavour than Tanqueray, making it an ideal gin for a traditional Sweet Martini (Red Vermouth and a marschino cherry) much to the delight of Ms T.

Miller's has over 8 botanicals; including liqourice root, cinnamon bark and nutmeg - but the smooth, sweet flavour comes from their secret ingredient (which we have decided must be peppermint).

An excellent and versatile gin.
