WORLD GIN DAY 2021: 3 new gin brands to try

The tonics are chilled, glasses are polished – all we need now is the gin! This Saturday 12th June is World Gin Day, something we think everyone will appreciate. With the warm summer weather finally making its long awaited appearance, sometimes nothing hits the spot quite like a cold G&T; but the question is, what gin do you pick?

The gin industry has never looked so abundant, with over 100 new distilleries opening up across 2020. With so many gins on the market, it can be hard to choose your next bottle, especially when they are all gleaming so temptingly at you from the supermarket shelves. That’s why we have created a round up of our three gin picks for this World Gin Day!

So less talk, more drink…

PEMBROKESHIRE GIN CO.

Offering three unique gins, multi-award winning gin company Pembrokeshire Gin Co. take immense pride in their small batch selection of spirits. Combining four citrus peels with hand foraged Welsh rosemary, their Rosemary and Citrus creates a light, easy drinking gin packed full of flavour. Serve with classic Fever Tree Indian tonic to allow those aromatic flavours to truly flourish.
40% ABV, £39.99, 50cl.

Inspired by notorious Welsh cakes, Pembrokeshire Gin Co. blends orange, currants, ginger, and cinnamon, for warming spices and fruity notes that were once the only light in a miner’s dark day. This Welsh Cake gin won the highest accolade of a Masters medal at 2020’s Gin Masters by The Spirits Business, as well as a Silver medal in the same competition, in the contemporary category.
40% ABV, £39.99, 50cl.

If 40% ABV does not cut it for you, be sure to get your hands on the new Navy Strength edition of the Multi Award Winning Rosemary and Citrus gin. 57% is not for the faint hearted; this is certainly one for the distinguished drinkers among us.
57%, £47.99, 50cl.
