The Handmade Gin Company - Cherry and Almond

So we are still getting through the COVID pandemic and my answer to coping has been gin. Every week for the last six months I’ve sent my mum the gift of a different small batch speciality gin to literally keep her spirits up ... and from every bottle she has saved me a couple of measures to try. She and I both like different qualities and flavours but we have graded all the guns and gin liqueurs on different aspects, value for money, shelf appeal of the bottle, colour and smell in the glass, notes of the palettes, smoothness of the finish and natural or synthetic quality of the flavourings.The first thing to say here is we have tried 4 of the varieties offered by this small batch distiller and they have all been great, even exceptionally good and at least as nice as expected from the label. The bottle is a signature style and makes a nice gift and the only thing that changes is the label to suit the flavour.Of the near 30 flavoured gins we have tried, this one made my top 10 (I’m not a coffee fan at all so that’s pretty impressive) but it absolutely romped home with my mums top spot (she lives Tia Maria) which was quite a surprise as she saved that honoured 1st place for the Pineapple variety from Jawbone for the longest time!The flavours are clear but not overpowering, they seem very natural and not at all chemically like some. I cannot say whether it is a natural additive or otherwise- but it tastes natural and that’s the key point. The finish is still more like a spirit than a sweet liqueur though and it is not in any way sugary like some small batch submissions.I think it’s a fairly unique flavour combo in a drink and a nice nice gift (for yourself or anyone else) if you/they enjoy coffee

The price, the bottle , the gin inside , it is a liquor, but it is very nice, it has a shimmery effect. Would definitely recommend and buy again. Thankyou.

I don't like Gin but have found myself enjoying many of the flavoured ones, this one is no exception, superb taste and will certainly buy again

Probably one of the best palma violet gins I've brought! It's a smooth drink and is always the one I go to over other gins.

Excellent Every Time from a Repeat Purchaser "Said Her indoors" 🫣🤭😂

Loved by the recipient 👍🏻

bought as a present was told it was lovely

I wasn't sure I'd like it when I purchased this I thought it would be to sweet. It is lovely I will buy this again.
