First Impressions
6 O'Clock Elderflower Gin makes perfect sense — Bramley & Gage built their reputation on elderflower liqueur before making gin. This expression amplifies the elderflower that appears in their classic London Dry, creating a floral gin from a company that truly understands the flower.
Tasting
The nose delivers lots of elderflower and citrus — dry, powdery elderflower with orange peel melting into the background. On the palate, beautifully balanced citrus and floral notes — refined juniper bolstered by a full, almost chewy texture, with coriander seed heat and elderflower sweetness. The finish is long and full-flavoured with floral notes strongly evident.
The Bottom Line
6 O'Clock Elderflower earns a 7 for elderflower gin made by people who've spent decades perfecting elderflower liqueur. The result has depth and texture that competitors lack, and the juniper remains refined and present throughout. At around £42, premium but genuine.
