First Impressions
Berkshire Botanical Dandelion & Burdock infuses the nostalgic British soft drink flavour into their copper pot distilled gin — dandelion and burdock inspired by the flora surrounding the Yattendon Estate. IWSC Bronze 2020.
Tasting
The nose shows floral earthiness with vanilla and ginger. On the palate, wonderfully earthy with vanilla, liquorice, honey and ginger — not sickly sweet. The finish is earthy with vanilla warmth.
The Bottom Line
Berkshire D&B earns a 7 for nostalgic cleverness — the childhood dandelion & burdock reimagined for adults. The earthy character provides depth, and the gin backbone prevents it from becoming mere soft drink. Works with tonic or lemonade.
