Martin Miller's 9 Moons / Solera Reserve

Daniel Torres — Complex sipping gin

8/10

This is a gin for sipping neat, not drowning in tonic. At 40% the 9 Moons solera ageing adds layers of vanilla, oak, and dried fruit to the Martin Miller's base. Sophisticated and rewarding.

Emily Thomas — Solera ageing transforms gin

9/10

Martin Miller's 9 Moons ages their gin in a solera system for nine months. At 40% the London Dry gains incredible depth — vanilla, toffee, and oak layered over clean juniper. A breakthrough in aged gin.

Priscilla Nunes — Lost in translation

7/10

The solera ageing is interesting but at 40% I feel Martin Miller's 9 Moons loses some of the gin identity in favour of barrel character. It is enjoyable as a spirit but the London Dry origin becomes secondary.
