Annika Svensson VIPsAllowed — Incredible Mouthfeel
8/10

The texture at 58% is unlike any other gin — thick, oily, and luxurious. The angelica root and seed provide deep earthiness, the orris root adds powdery florals, and the juniper is commanding. Serious gin for serious enthusiasts.

Samir Patel VIPsAllowed — Overwhelming Strength
7/10

At 58% ABV this is simply too powerful for neat drinking. The botanicals are there — commanding juniper, warm coriander, earthy angelica — but the alcohol heat masks them. Needs significant dilution. Impressive but challenging.

9/10

At 58% ABV, Battersea Barrel-Proof transforms any cocktail. The commanding juniper cuts through mixers effortlessly, the oily mouthfeel adds luxury, and the long finish ensures the gin is always present. Outstanding stuff.
