Adnams Masterbrewer, Fergus Fitzgerald, makes a beer 'wash' which is fermented to around 6% abv without the addition of hops. Our head distiller, John McCarthy, then takes this beer and puts it through a beer stripping column which removes all the alcohols to create a 'low wine' (around 80 - 85% abv). The 'low wines' are subsequently distilled in our hand-made copper pot still and purified further in rectification columns to create a clean, pure spirit.

A refreshing change delivering a taste sensation.
This is an excellent gin, but it is not a run of the mill mild flavour convenience store shelf filler, it has a distinctive an unique flavour with a powerful taste and exceptional nose. I tend to pair this with a quality (non flavoured) tonic, lashings of ice and a slice or two of freshly cut lime, I feel the distinctive flavour favours the citrus approach. It is super refreshing and an ideal summer drink. Treat yourself to something different, I always keep a bottle on hand and many guests have been converted by a long tall one.

Is it worth the money? I would have rather have spent the 26 quid on their beers.......
Honestly I do not know what all the fuss is about. I'm a big fan of gin and a big fan of Admans ales so when I saw this I had to buy it. However I was somewhat disappointed. Yes it is a nice gin but for the price I was expecting more. It is not smooth enough to sip by itself and once you mix it the taste is very similar to almost every other gin I've tried. If you have your gin with a mixer and lime or lemon ask yourself, do I need to spend this much on the gin? Personally I do not see the point. I would rather buy 2 bottles of the premium gin sold in a certain large German supermarket that rhymes with 'middles' and then have change left over to buy some tasty mixers.If you drink your gin neat then you'll probably need to spend more.Overall when it comes to Adnams drinks I think I would have rather spend 26 quid on their Ales than their gin again.
