If you haven’t tried this stuff already, you’re gonna want to start paying attention!

 

What is Six O’Clock Gin?

Six O’Clock Gin is an award-winning English gin produced by Bramley & Gage in Gloucestershire. The gin hit the market in 2010, though its origins go further back. The Six O’Clock Gin recipe is in fact adapted from an old recipe developed by the company’s Master Distiller, Edward Kain. Since 2010, Six O’Clock Gin has gone from strength to strength and is now one of the UK’s top gins.

 

How is Six O’Clock Gin made?

Naturally, exact recipes and methods are kept under wraps in the competitive craft gin industry. We do know that Six O’Clock Gin is produced using a customised copper still with a double sphere head. The gin uses a mixture of botanicals, with juniper the most prominent. Besides juniper, you’ve also got coriander, orange peel and elderflower, among others.

 

What does Six O’Clock Gin taste like?

In a word: Smooth! This is a seriously smooth and elegant gin, with a very clean flavour profile. The botanicals contribute to the flavour, with juniper coming to the forefront, though it in a very subtle and refined way. Neither the botanicals nor the 43% alcohol overpower the tasting experience. Gin lovers will find a lot to like here, and even Gin newbies will appreciate the accessible, easy-drinking style.

As with anything when it comes to booze, that’s up to you. If you want to drink your Six O’Clock Gin straight, go right ahead. If ice is your thing, throw a few cubes in there. Make whatever cocktails you like. We won’t stop you.
