#Review: Gimbals London dry #gin is one of South Africa's most flavourful gins

Gimbals London dry Gin is very flavorful and very bright.

Sweet bright citrus on the nose, and a bright dose of juniper as well. Possibly a hint of spice and florals around the edges, but it maintains a straightforward classic approach with a nice bit of juniper character.


The palette is hot and spicy juniper. A good deal of heat and warmth. It's 43% abv is enough to keep you toasty on a winter's eve. 

Starts with a hint of juniper before the citrus aromas absolutely flourish.

Nicely balanced with a slight sweetness akin to violet coming out, but it's only slight. The fruit note here is well tempered and squarely in the sweet citrus camp. 

Juniper comes back for a second burst, this time bringing with it a hefty dose of heat and power. 

Nice flavor, and the closing is well balanced. There's an earthy counternote that keeps the juniper from being too overwhelming. 

It fades pleasantly until all that remains is a little bit of heat. A truly classical gin that is best enjoyed with friends or family.
