Bulldog 88 Proof London Dry Gin

Bulldog Gin is not a gin that will reform the vodka drinker. No, this gin is for lovers of gin; real gin, filled with an array of flavors not found in any other spirit, the gin that set the Martini apart from every other drink. Bulldog is complex, to say the least.

Bulldog bold attitude is expressed by its iconic bottle: a refined and modern icon a black bottle where the brightness of the liquid is found within.

Although the scent is relatively neutral, with just a mild hint of floral and clean lemon zest, this proves a complex, spicy gin on the palate. It feels light and silky, even oily. Beyond the standard juniper and mint, this gin intrigues with offbeat caraway, coriander and hot pepper.

The nosings passes find classic London Dry aromas of juniper with assertive prickly spirit and citrus. The palate entry is creamy juniper-heavy and curiously chalky; the taster profile at midpalate.
