21 March 2026Named 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.
13 March 2026At 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.
