Description
Martin Miller's Westbourne Strength Gin
With their Westbourne Strength gin, Martin Miller's were responding to requests from mixologists for a gin which was more 'old school' in its flavours - allowing them to create full-flavour inventions.
Right from the launch, this gin proved popular. Both with the mixologists it was made for, but also by judges - it received the highest ever score (97 / 100) by the Beverage Tasting Institute in 2020 winning The World's Best Gin award.
The production of the gin utilises the same botanicals and processes as can be found in the original Martin Millers, so also uses two separate distillations of earthy and citrus based botanicals. This imparts a perfect balance between citrus and juniper. The botanicals used with the gin are juniper, angelica, dried lemon peel, cassia, coriander seeds, dried lime peel, liquorice root, nutmeg, bitter orange peel and florentine iris.
Interesting Fact: The name Westbourne comes from the location of Martin Miller's home in Westbourne Grover, Notting Hill, London.

Perfect Serve
The premise behind this gin is "gin as it should be", but one which stands up particularly well to use in cocktails - so we would strongly recommend trying these "in the mix". We particularly liked this in a Martini, where it holds its own particularly well.
If enjoying in a Gin & Tonic, we would strongly recommend a neutral tonic - and we like Seventeen Tonic Water.
In a large glass filled with lots of ice pour 50ml of the gin and top up with 150-200ml of tonic. Garnish simply with a slice of lemon.
