Wacholderbar's Wacholderbar Styrian Apples & Elder Gin enters an increasingly crowded London Dry market at the premium end of the shelf at £41.25. The botanical bill includes juniper, a mix that signals a commercially sound, juniper-forward approach.

Wacholderbär’s Styrian gin is the fruitiest of their collection, made with organic Topaz apples and organic elderberries, which give a delightfully fruity aroma. Other botanicals include juniper and ginger adding a touch of spice to this modern take on a Styrian gin.

The Verdict

Scoring 8/10, this gin occupies sensible territory in the London Dry market. It is competitive at its price point and should appeal to drinkers looking for a reliable everyday gin.

Best Served

In whatever serve your customers are ordering. This is a commercially sound gin that will work across the most popular cocktail calls — G&T, Martini, Negroni, Tom Collins.

8/10

You don't see many Austrian gins but this one makes a strong case. The Styrian apple and elderflower combination is distinctive, and the London Dry classification with juniper backbone keeps it grounded.

8/10

The Styrian apple character brings something genuinely different to this London Dry. The elderflower adds florality and at 44.7% there's proper juniper weight. An interesting and well-made gin.

9/10

There's something about Austrian distilling precision that produces beautifully clean spirits. The Styrian apples are crisp and genuine, the elder is delicate, and the juniper at 44.7% provides wonderful structure.

This deserves far more attention. The combination of crisp Styrian apples, delicate elder, and proper juniper at 44.7% is inspired. It's a London Dry that surprises and delights in equal measure.

10/10

Wacholderbar have created something magical with this London Dry at 44.7%. The Styrian apples bring orchard freshness, the elderflower adds delicate florality, and the juniper provides classic gin authority. It's like drinking in an Alpine meadow. One of the most charming gins I've ever encountered.

6/10

The Styrian apples and elderflower concept is interesting but the execution feels a touch confused. At 44.7% the juniper provides decent backbone, but the fruity-floral combination doesn't quite gel for me. A London Dry that's trying to be too many things.

8/10

The Styrian apple crispness with elderflower florality makes for a refreshing combination. At 44.7% the juniper stands firm beneath the flavoured elements. This London Dry has character.
