About this bottle

Bathtub Gin is a gin from United Kingdom. It is bottled at 43.3% ABV, in a 350 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: An initially Juniper-rich bouquet is backed up with a solid backbone of rich grain spirit. Top notes of Cardamom and Orange blossom are evident with just a suggestion of Cinnamon; on the palate: The initial focus is Juniper, but the earthier botanicals make themselves known in the initial palate too. Mouthfeel is exceptionally viscous and creamy – this is good spirit, and it makes itself known; finish: The Juniper subsides and gives way to the Cardamom and Cinnamon, with a late resurgence from Orange Peel.

Nose
An initially Juniper-rich bouquet is backed up with a solid backbone of rich grain spirit. Top notes of Cardamom and Orange blossom are evident with just a suggestion of Cinnamon.
Palate
The initial focus is Juniper, but the earthier botanicals make themselves known in the initial palate too. Mouthfeel is exceptionally viscous and creamy – this is good spirit, and it makes itself known.
Finish
The Juniper subsides and gives way to the Cardamom and Cinnamon, with a late resurgence from Orange Peel.

Serving & pairing

Best in a tall glass with tonic and a garnish that echoes the botanicals, or stirred into a Martini or Negroni. Pairs with seafood and citrus-dressed salads.

What does “London dry” mean?

A production method, not a place: all botanicals must be added during distillation, with nothing added afterwards except water and a tiny amount of sugar. London dry gin can be made anywhere.

Rum for cocktails

They said no age statement.

“Other shops would have fudged it. Spirit Hives wrote that there was no age statement and priced it like one. I trust a shop that tells me what the producer did not print.”
Grace L.Dark Jamaican rum
Housewarming

Vodka that is not just vodka.

“A Polish wheat vodka, almost creamy. The country filter on Spirit Hives is a small thing and it is why I found it instead of grabbing the usual bottle.”
Anya P.Polish wheat vodka
Tasting flight

Half bottles, five rums, one winner.

“The half-bottle shelf let me pour a flight without buying five full bottles. Guests voted. The winner is now a Spirit Hives regular on my shelf.”
Laura G.Rum minis
Anniversary

Cognac for a quiet anniversary.

“Thirty years. No party, one glass each by the fire. The XO from Spirit Hives was warm, long and unhurried. That was the evening.”
Samuel O.XO Cognac
