About this bottle

Merrylegs Genever Style Gin is a old Tom & genever from United States in our spirits range. It is bottled at 40% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: The spirit’s nose speaks clearly of the malted barley base and has plenty of grain elements such as baked bread and toasted seed. Unfortunately these authentic Genever elements edge out most of the botanicals and leave juniper all but undetectable; on the palate: The rich palate has great integration of alcohol and a pleasant rounded character that benefits from a presence of candied anise and a zesty finish with a hint of white pepper spice; finish: Finish is rich and smooth.

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.

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
Weekend sipping

Mezcal that tastes like a place.

“Smoke, not a campfire, with the village and the agave named on the page. I read it, then I drank it. Spirit Hives had both parts right.”
Fatima Z.Artisanal mezcal
Summer garden

A gin I cannot buy on the high street.

“A citrus gin that barely shows up in the States. Spirit Hives listed the botanicals, I ordered a 700 ml, and it became the house G and T. Not cheap. Completely worth it.”
Hannah W.Contemporary gin
Case order

The case made more sense.

“I drink the reposado enough that a single bottle was a habit. Switching the option to a case at Spirit Hives dropped the unit price and I stopped running out mid-month.”
Carlos M.Reposado tequila, 6-pack
