My Cornish gin of choice
Out of all the Cornish gins I have tried — and there have been many — Aval Dor at 42% is my favourite. This London Dry has perfect balance, beautiful botanicals, and a quality that keeps me coming back. True Cornish gold.

Golden apple brilliance
Named after the Cornish for golden apple, Aval Dor at 42% lives up to its beautiful name. This London Dry is golden in quality — balanced, refined, and deeply satisfying. One of Cornwall's finest.

Cornish gold in a bottle
Aval Dor — meaning golden apple in Cornish — delivers a lovely London Dry at 42%. Clean juniper with hints of local Cornish botanicals. Well-crafted and pleasingly smooth.

Pleasant but unremarkable
Aval Dor is a perfectly decent London Dry at 42% but Cornwall has so many gins now that this one struggles to stand out. Clean and well-made but lacks a distinctive hook to make it memorable.

Well-balanced Cornish gin
A nicely balanced London Dry from Cornwall at 42%. Juniper takes the lead with pleasant herbal and citrus supporting notes. Nothing groundbreaking but genuinely well-made.

Cornwall's hidden gem
This Cornish gin at 42% deserves far more attention. The London Dry profile is beautifully balanced with crisp juniper and a subtle fruity warmth. A golden apple indeed — precious and delicious.
