Brockman's Orange Kiss Gin
Brockmans · G&J Distillers
Brockmans Orange Kiss takes the brand's fruit-forward philosophy and sharpens it around a single citrus theme. It's a gin that works brilliantly in a spritz but has enough botanical structure to stand up in a Martini variation. The lower proof keeps it sessionable without diluting the aromatics.
Nose
Bright blood orange dominates, supported by soft floral rose and a gentle coriander warmth. The juniper is present but pulled back, allowing the citrus to lead.
Palate
Smooth and medium-bodied with orange peel sweetness layered over lavender and a whisper of vanilla. The mid-palate reveals a subtle grapefruit bitterness and orris root powder that provide depth beneath the fruit.
Finish
Clean and moderately long with lingering orange zest and a floral fadeout.

Opihr Oriental Spiced London Dry Gin
Opihr
Opihr channels the ancient spice routes into a London Dry framework with remarkable coherence. The pepper-forward warmth and exotic botanical blend make it a natural fit for the 'Warmth Before Silence' theme — it glows with lingering spice heat that fades into a contemplative, quiet finish. An accessible yet genuinely distinctive gin that rewards slow sipping as much as mixing.
Thomas Dakin Gin
Thomas Dakin
Named for the 18th-century pioneer of English gin distillation, this expression doesn't chase floral trends. It's a juniper-forward gin with enough backbone to stand up in a martini and enough complexity to sip with just tonic and a twist. The kind of no-nonsense spirit that reminds you why classic gins endured.
Boodles British London Dry Gin
Boodles
Boodles is a gin that draws its charcoal line by what it leaves out. No citrus peel in the botanical mix means the juniper and spice backbone is laid bare. At 45.2% ABV, it has the spine for a proper Martini and the discipline to let vermouth do the talking. Exceptional value.
Isle of Raasay Hebridean Gin
Isle of Raasay
Isle of Raasay Hebridean Gin is a study in clarity through constraint — a tight botanical bill drawn from the island's own terrain, distilled with disciplined intent. It proves that limitation breeds focus: every botanical earns its place, nothing competes, and the result is a gin of luminous transparency. A quiet triumph from one of Scotland's most purposeful young distilleries.
New Riff Distilling Kentucky Wild Gin
New Riff Distilling
New Riff's Kentucky Wild Gin is a beautifully aerated spirit—distilled with a thoughtful openness to the botanicals' natural character. It's proof that a whiskey-focused distillery can channel that same reverence for terroir and process into a gin of real poise and clarity. A versatile, sippable gin that breathes Kentucky air.
Cadenhead's Old Raj Dry Gin
Cadenhead's
Old Raj is a gin of rare character—the saffron infusion turns a classic juniper-forward profile into something genuinely singular, perfect for the waning warmth of November. Its navy strength makes it a commanding presence in cocktails or neat, and its Scottish provenance from one of the oldest independent bottlers in the world lends quiet authority. A gin that feels like the last golden light before winter.
Ford's Gin Officers' Reserve Navy Strength Gin
Ford's Gin
Officers' Reserve is the rare navy strength gin that earns its extra proof through genuine complexity rather than brute force. The brief Oloroso sherry cask rest is a masterclass in restraint—adding just enough richness to elevate the classic Ford's botanical profile without obscuring it. A gin that rewards trust in the process, and in the craft of blending tradition with innovation.
