The Story
Following the massive success of their signature dry expression, the brilliant minds behind Glaswegin have created a genuinely spectacular fruity alternative. Staying true to their proud Glasgow roots and their instantly recognisable, minimalist, industrial-style bottle, this expression takes everything that makes the original great and adds a vibrant splash of summer. The foundation of this spirit remains exceptionally high-quality. Using a remarkably smooth wheat base spirit, the distillers have retained their core botanical profile, meaning that all-important hit of classic juniper is still very much present. However, the real magic happens with the addition of the fruit. They have expertly blended the jammy, comforting sweetness of fresh raspberry with the sharp, mouth-watering zing of rhubarb. It is a famously tricky balancing act - many fruit gins fall into the trap of being far too sweet or syrupy. Glaswegin, however, have nailed it perfectly. The tartness of the rhubarb cuts right through the sweetness of the berries, resulting in a flavoured premium gin that feels decidedly grown-up, crisp, and incredibly refreshing. Whether you are enjoying a sunny afternoon on the terrace or looking for a vibrant start to your evening, this is a phenomenal choice. It drinks beautifully over plenty of ice, topped with a premium tonic water, and garnished with a handful of fresh berries or a simple twist of lemon peel.
