Hayman's Cordial Gin

Tariq Hassan — Too sweet for some

7/10

The cordial style at 42% means this is a sweetened gin, which might not appeal to London Dry purists. The spice notes are lovely but the sweetness makes it feel more like a liqueur at times. A historical curiosity.

Ruth Banks — Sweet spice and history

8/10

Hayman's Cordial Gin at 42% is a nod to the sweetened gins of the 19th century. The flavoured profile is warm with cinnamon and citrus. Perfect for those who find London Dry too austere.

Victor Osei — Historic cordial style revived

9/10

Hayman's revives the historical cordial gin style at 42%. This flavoured gin is gently sweetened with a rich, spiced character. Coriander, cassia, and orange peel create warming depth. A beautiful piece of gin history.
