A Right Royal Tipple: Unveiling the Delights of Buckingham Palace Small Batch Dry Gin

Buckingham Palace Small Batch Dry Gin isn't your commoner's gin. Crafted with meticulous care and featuring botanicals hand-selected from the Queen's very own gardens, this libation offers a taste experience fit for a crown. Here at The General Wine Company, we raise a glass (or perhaps a chalice?) to explore the exquisite flavours of this regal gin, complete with recommendations for a truly sovereign serve.

Aromatic Aura: A Queen's Garden in a Glass

The first sip of Buckingham Palace Gin is an invitation to a royal stroll. Delicate juniper, the cornerstone of any good gin, takes centre stage. Its piney essence mingles with hints of citrus, a touch like a summer regatta on a sparkling day. But that's not all. Botanical spices, like loyal courtiers, peek through, adding depth and intrigue. Imagine a whisper of coriander's warmth and a touch of angelica root's earthiness, creating a subtle complexity that befits a palace intrigue.

On the Palate: A Royal Procession of Flavours

As the gin graces your tongue, a symphony of flavours unfolds. Juniper asserts its presence with a crisp and refreshing note, akin to a brisk morning changing of the guard. Coriander and angelica root, like royal trumpeters, add depth and complexity, while citrus peel – think lemon and a hint of zesty grapefruit – contributes a refreshing brightness, creating a harmonious balance that would make any royal architect proud. The result? A smooth and well-balanced gin with a velvety texture that lingers on the palate, leaving a satisfying finish, as enduring as a coronation carriage.

The Perfect Serve: A Crown Jewel in a Glass

Buckingham Palace Gin deserves a presentation as grand as its origins. Here's how to create a gin and tonic fit for a monarch:

• The Crown Jewels: Fill a copa glass with generous ice cubes.
• A Royal Measure: Pour 50ml of Buckingham Palace Gin – a noble measure for a noble spirit.
• A Tonic Tribute: Top with 150ml of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water. This award-winning tonic, with its subtle quinine bitterness and citrus notes, perfectly complements the gin's botanical tapestry.
• A Royal Garnish: For a touch of whimsy, add a sprig of fresh rosemary, a nod to the herb's historical association with remembrance, or a twist of grapefruit peel, a citrusy crown for your creation.

Food Pairings: A Royal Feast for Your Senses

Buckingham Palace Gin isn't just for raising a toast. Its versatility allows it to shine alongside a variety of dishes. Here are some suggestions for a truly regal food pairing:

• Canapés fit for a Coronation: Light bites with citrusy elements like smoked salmon blinis with a squeeze of lemon or cucumber sandwiches with a touch of fresh dill will perfectly complement the gin's vibrant citrus notes.
• A Main Course Worthy of a Knight: For a heartier option, consider juniper-roasted chicken or a herb-crusted rack of lamb. The juniper in the gin will resonate with the juniper in the cooking method, creating a harmonious symphony of flavours.
• A Right Royal Cheeseboard: No royal spread is complete without cheese. Opt for sharp cheeses like cheddar or a creamy goat cheese. The gin's citrus notes will cut through the richness of the cheese, creating a delightful contrast.
