WHAT OUR RESIDENT GIN EXPERT SAYS:

This gin is special to us here at interGIN, because it's from closer to home than most of the gins we stock.

Modelled after a London Dry Gin, Betty's Gin is made by Heart of Suffolk distillery, which (believe it or not) is located in Leicester. I'm joking, it's made in Suffolk of course, in a small town just outside Ipswich. It's handmade in small batches of around 65 bottles, and each is hand signed and numbered by the master distiller who created it. Talk about quality assurance!

And indeed, quality is exactly what you get when you try this gin. I poured mine with some ice, some of my favourite tonic water and used a slice of orange, all recommended by the master distiller himself. First taste reveals a heady hit of juniper, as with most London Dry gins, along with a slight hint of orange. Of course, being a London Dry, the finish is itself dry, with smaller notes of juniper in the aftertaste. Rather delectable.

Overall, and I will admit I may be a little biased given how local this gin is, I can wholeheartedly say this is one of the best London Dry gins I have tried in ages. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anybody looking for a London Dry. Hats off to you at the Heart of Suffolk distillery, you've truly done yourselves proud.
