WHAT OUR RESIDENT GINSARIAN SAYS:

Created by brothers Jose Antonio and Francisco Rodriguez Fernandez after they spotted wild Huelva strawberries growing near the distillery in Seville, Puerto de Indias was originally set to be a strawberry liqueur before being distilled with macerated strawberries and gin to create full strength gin.

It's marketed as a summer tipple and that's exactly when I tried it with a fever tree elderflower tonic and some fresh raspberries with loads of ice.

The nose has an immediate sweetness to it and the first sip was vibrantly fruit-forward, it's nothing like the standard liquor type flavoured gins and hardened gin lovers may find the sweet taste a bit on the excessive side and potentially lacking juniper bite but anyone with a taste for a fresh ‘n’ fruity gin may have just found their perfect match.

For me it did require a few trials on how much tonic vs gin to add to get the ratio right for you, but once I did and added plenty of ice, it becomes an instant summer sensation.
