Tasting Notes

Nose

Piney juniper and zesty citrus layered over earthy angelica root — traditional and well-defined

Palate

Smooth and rounded with juniper upfront leading to spice, liquorice and orange peel — big traditional juniper laced with coriander and spicy cinnamon hints

Finish

Crisp and dry with lingering citrus and warm pepper notes — clean close with angelica earthiness

Expert Review

7.3/10

Brecon Special Reserve is a dependable, well-priced London Dry that delivers clean juniper-led character without pretension — a solid everyday pour that earns its place on the shelf.

Zoe Chen VIPsAllowed — Wales' Finest London Dry
10/10

Brecon Special Reserve is a stunning achievement in Welsh distilling. At 40% ABV this London Dry is flawlessly balanced — clean juniper, elegant citrus, and a dry finish of real quality. Outstanding.

9/10

Named after the stunning national park, Brecon Special Reserve at 40% is a London Dry of genuine quality. The juniper is clean and prominent, the botanicals are well-chosen, and the finish is satisfying.

Gianluca Ferro VIPsAllowed — Good but Generic
7/10

At 40% ABV it's a perfectly competent London Dry with clean juniper and citrus, but the Special Reserve label promises more than it delivers. Hard to pick it out in a blind tasting.
