Ungava Canadian Premium Gin 70cl, 43.1% ABV

I really enjoyed this Canadian gin. The distinctive yellow colour is a quirky addition to the collection on my sideboard. Once it is diluted with tonic only a very slight hint of yellow remains. This gin has a very distinctive slightly bitter taste but at the same time is in the style of a London Dry Gin. It works extremely well in a martini. It makes a very smooth yellow drink which has a very distinctive yet subtle flavour. It isn't cheap but it is one which I will definitely be treating myself to again.

I bought this believing it be vastly reduced but I don't think it has barely ever been on at the price stated before the reduction, 40 odd quid certainly isn't the standard price. So the reduction to £22 wasn't the great discount it appeared. However this gin turned out to be delicious and I would buy it again. I found it quite distinctive from other gins so I find it odd that some people thought it bland. The more distinctive gins will always have some fans and some who aren't, but bland isnt a word I would use for it.

A Toast to the Arctic, Served in Your Glass Diving into the world of spirits is akin to embarking on an expedition—every sip, a discovery; each bottle, a story. Ungava Canadian Premium Gin, with its distinctive 70cl embodiment and an audacious 43.1% ABV, is no less an odyssey, offering a culinary voyage to the Canadian Arctic without needing to don your parka. Upon unsealing the bottle, one is greeted not merely by a spirit, but by an olfactory tapestry woven from the botanicals native to the Ungava Peninsula. This gin, resplendent with its unique golden hue—a palette swap from the conventional clear spirit—whispers tales of the northern tundra. Its colour, as enigmatic as the northern lights themselves, is derived from a handpicked selection of indigenous herbs including wild rose hips, cloudberry, and Arctic blend, which concocts a flavour as expansive as the Canadian wilderness from whence it comes. Sipping on Ungava is akin to serenading your palate with a chorus of complexity and smoothness seldom found in its contemporaries. The initial encounter is a refreshing burst of juniper—fundamental yet far from mundane, followed closely by a symphony of botanicals that dances gracefully between sweet, tart, and subtly earthy notes. It's the kind of spirit that demands to be savoured neat or perhaps gently cradled within an elegantly crafted martini. However, such a radiant star is not without its nebula. While I hold this gin in high esteem, the very aspect that sets it apart—its bold character and unique botanical blend—might also overshadow those seeking a more traditional gin experience. Its distinctiveness, although a virtue, may not align with every connoisseur's palette or cocktail blend, gently nudging it from universal acclaim. Nonetheless, Ungava Canadian Premium Gin remains an exemplar of faultless design and consistent high quality. It stands as a testament to the manufacturer's dedication to crafting a spirit that is not only reflective of its origin but also daringly innovative. For those looking to complement their bar with a gin that offers a narrative in every sip—a narrative as compelling and robust as the land it hails from—Ungava presents itself as a distinguished choice. In the realm of spirits, where innovation and tradition often clash, Ungava Canadian Premium Gin skillfully bridges the gap, offering an experience that is at once familiar and entirely novel. It does more than just occupy space on the shelf; it commands attention, inviting those who partake in its journey to explore the uncharted terrains of flavour and botanical craftsmanship. Here's to the spirit of the Arctic, distilled into a masterpiece that warms the soul. Cheers!

This gin is both excellent and quite unique in flavour and colour. I love high quality gins that are not flavoured with some fruit or other and this is a high quality very balanced gin that goes well with simple Indian tonic and ice. Highly recommended and is often at a very reasonable price on Amazon and is quite hard to find elsewhere in supermarkets etc.

Nice tasting gin, will buy again

Bought as a present for my mum whos a big gin drinker. She usually drinks bombay but thought would mix it up a bit, she loved it ! Interesting but very crisp flavour, goes well with grapefruit.

Somewhat lacking in crispness and flavour to stand it apart from other gins

This is more delicious than I expected, I've tried a lot of Gins and this is a new form favourite (I prefer traditional Gins and not a big fan of floral ones if you want an idea or my tastes) good price and the colour makes it interesting to serve up!

Un gin totalmente diferente a los que acostumbramos a tomar muy buen sabor

Uno dei migliori Gin che abbia mai comprato. Sapore straordinario. Non costa poco, ma vale ogni centesimo.

Ich kann die vielen negativen Rezensionen hier null nachvollziehen. Eine Geschmacjsexplosion an verschiedensten Noten kann kaum ein anderer Gin aufweisen und ich kenne alle bekannten und viele unbekanntere. Zudem ist dieser Gin so angenehm mild, dass man diesen pur genießen kann ohne nur schärfe im Mund zu verspüren. Ausser diesen Gin sollte man eh keinen anderen pur trinken. Da muss man schon ein krasser Alkoholiker sein. Rum und Whisky und co. sind da was ganz anderes. Diese Spirituosen schmecken ja nicht nur nach purem Alkohol und sind auch eher Mild im vergleich. Selbst einen Monkeys den ich mit tonic vermischt über alles liebe ist pur eher was für abgetötete Mundräume 😉 So wahnsinnig vielfältig der Geschmack vom Ungava. Bitte testet diesen erstmal. 3,5 sterne sind viel zu wenig. Zudem ist dieser auch echt häufig günstig zu bekommen. 27 ist nicht viel für die meisten guten Gins. Um sich ein Bild von meinem Geschmacksempfinden zu machen: - Monkeys 47 (5,0*) - Ungava (5,0*) - G-Vine Florassion (5,0*) - The Duke (4,5*) - Bombay extra dry (4,5*) - London Nr.1 (4,0*) - Gin Mare (4,0*) - Hendricks (3,5*) - Gordons (2,5*) - The Botanist (0,0*)

J’adore! Il est équilibré et pas écœurant ....

Trinken manchmal gin tonic mit Freunden. Das ist bisher der beste gin. Auch wenn man bißchen zu wenig tonic erwischt (zu viel gin) kann man das noch gut Trinken. Bei anderen muß man dann gleich mit tonic füllen, weil es sonst nicht trinkbar ist.
