Let me walk you through Hayman's Vibrant Citrus Gin, a London Dry gin coming in at 41.1%. As a London Dry, we can expect juniper to lead the charge, with supporting botanicals playing a complementary role.
Another excellent gin from the reliable team at Hayman’s. It boasts a bold juniper backbone, beautifully balanced by vibrant citrus notes, including mandarin, pomelo, kumquat, and lime. Perfect for a martini, a gin and tonic, or any of your favourite cocktails.
The Verdict
This earns 7.6/10 from me. It's a well-made London Dry that would serve as a great introduction to the style. I'd happily use this in a cocktail class — it demonstrates the key characteristics clearly.
Best Served
Start with a classic G&T to understand the base spirit, then experiment. Try it in a Martini to see how it handles dilution, or in a Negroni to test its backbone. Each cocktail reveals something different about the gin's character.
