About this bottle

A gin from United Kingdom, WL Distillery First Edition Gin is part of the Spirit Hives spirits selection. It is bottled at 40% ABV, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Distillery flaunts aromas reminiscent of fresh fruit and the summer sunshine. Featuring those all-important juniper berries, the high concentration of alpha-pinene; on the palate: Silky sweet layers of crisp, fresh orchard fruits and hedgerow berries bring perfect balance to resinous juniper and hints of fresh peppercorn; finish: For the penultimate perfect serve, use a cabernet glass; gin needs swirling space to ensure you get the best of those delicate botanicals. Pop in a wedge of fresh lime to cut into those flavours and some ice to keep it tasting sharp and you are ready to go.

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
