Bluecoat Gin.


Remembering the recommendation from last time, I made it a point to pick it up this time. This is a solid martini gin with notes of lavender that manage to show through tonic as well. I had it in a martini with two olives and it was more floral than pine, rather herbal. A little lacking in the classic gin character, but still decidedly a gin. Mixed with some Fevertree tonic, the quinine bitterness is very nicely offset by the smooth floral lavender character. A very nice gin.
