Weekly Gin RecommendationMy Weekly Recommendation - https://www.instagram.com/massingberd_mundy/ (Massingberd-Mundy )Burrells gin Focussing on your heritage is a good brand story because you have something solid to base it on. It also gives natural prestige to what it is that your selling. The flip side of that is that you have to actually produce something that is worth of that prestige. The https://www.instagram.com/massingberd_mundy/ (Massingberd-Mundy) bases their story around the South Ormsby estate which was purchased in 1638 from the Skipwiths by Sir Drayner Massingberd. The South Ormsby estate was held for 400 years by the Massingberd’s who became Massingberd-Mundy in the 19th century. This is where the https://www.instagram.com/massingberd_mundy/ (Massingberd-Mundy) distillery takes it’s name. Head Distiller Tristan Jorgensen took on the mantle of producing this gin. He wanted a juniper led, traditional London Dry The nose is really interesting. There is a freshness to it. Almost a sweetness to the aroma along with a zestiness too. The flavour profile is breathtaking. You instantly get the juniper and dryness hitting you, then you get a citrus flavour followed by a sweetness followed by a bit of heat before the flavour drops off ever so slowly. The whole profile is so smooth. So smooth I would be happy to have this as a sipping gin. I don’t often say that. I tried this with my normal Mediterranean tonic and I have to say that this really enhanced the flavour even further. I would say there is a dryness to the gin which normally would niggle me, like a Negroni does, but in this case it adds to the experience. I think it would work with any light tonic including Elderflower. I think this would be excellent as a dry martini and I can’t decide whether it could also work as a dirty martini or a Vespa martini. Something I need to try This has been added to many cocktails and I am keen to try this out. Congratulations Tristan and the team on the https://www.instagram.com/southormsbyestate/ (South Ormsby Estate) in creating a gin which matches the heritage behind it .
