Our resident ginsarian hasn't tried this one yet, but here's what Yorkshire Gin have to say:

From the folks at the Yorkshire Dales Distillery comes this "Army Strength" (50% abv) Desert Ram gin from Sarah and Tony, a veteran owned and family-run business situated in a picturesque town on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. They make spirits for the people, with the people and by the people. I love that tagline.

These guys are the real deal, not only do they quadruple distil in very small batches using traditional techniques, local botanicals, and a unique ancient mineral water source from Swaledale they also provide meaningful training and employment to service veterans and dependants, young people, ex-offenders and the long term unemployed. Nice one guys!

The gin itself has an exceptionally smooth and intriguing nose that kicks off with a bolt of juniper and a haze of sweet peppermint and pine which is followed on the palate by a musky flush of citrus, cardamon and floral tones before lingering delicately with a hint of clove and a dash of strawberry.
