Bulldog London Dry Gin
Some time ago a nice miniature took my attention. It was a black mini-bottle with funny name on the label. Bulldog London Dry Gin – a spirit made of 100% grain distillate. I know it sounds funny, but today we are going to taste some bulldog 😉
Bulldog London Dry Gin
40% ABV
Distilled from a wheat in copper still
In production process, there had been 12 ingredients used.
Color: colorless
Tasting notes
Nose: heavily alcoholic, lime, leather, grapefruit … and not much more. 14/25
Palate: weak. Apricot seeds, horseradish, grapefruit peel, cotton candy. Unpleasantly taste if you drink it clean. 15/25
Finish: Contreau, caramel, lemon grass, bitter orange. 17/25
Balance: a typical gin for drinks. Strongly alcoholic and a weak taste. The medium quality finish is the most powerful element of this Gin. 14/25
Overall: 60/100
Price: about 22 € for 0.7 litre bottle. It’s rather a grim joke.
Conclussion
We probably pay only for a nice bottle. Seriously, if we want to know the real taste of Gin, which we could drink without additives, just neat from the glass … we should beware of this dog (Bulldog London Dry Gin).
