Description
Brecon Special Reserve Gin
Launched in 2001, Brecon Special Reserve is the first gin developed by the Penderyn Distillery (best known for its Whiskey). It's made with alcohol spirit made from Barley, 10 largely traditional gin botanicals, and is blended with water from the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales.
They source the best botanicals from around the world to ensure a perfectly balanced gin. These include Chinese cassia bark, Sri Lankan liqourice and Italian orris root. These include Chinese cassia bark, Sri Lankan liqourice and Italian orris root. The total botanical compliment is Juniper, lemon peel, orange peel, coriander seeds, angelica root, liqourice, cinnamon, orris root, cassia bark and nutmeg.
Whilst Penderyn may be better known for its Whiskey, this is a gin which stands up in its own right. Well balanced, and full of flavour it was awarded the Gold 'Best in Class' award at the 2011 International Wine and Spirits Competition.
On the nose this has a classic aroma, full of juniper and piney earthy notes. On the palate it's warm, with just the right amount of spice. Thisperfectly balances the juniper and citrus in the gin. The finish is long, and hints of cinnamon and the juniper carrying through to the end.

Perfect Serve
This makes a delicious classic gin & tonic. In a large glass filled with ice add 50ml of the gin. Gently pour in 150 - 200ml of your favourite tonic (we like both the Indian Tonic and Refreshingly Light tonics from Fever-Tree). Stir gently and garnish with lemon zest.
