Tasting Notes

Nose

Savoury umami with smoky bacon — black pepper and chilli warmth with tomato hints

Palate

Bold savoury character — bacon smokiness with black pepper heat, chilli warmth, tomato richness, juniper providing the gin backbone beneath the breakfast ingredients

Finish

Warming chilli with lingering savoury character — the Full English in liquid form

First Impressions

Gin Kitchen Full English is exactly what it sounds like — bacon, black pepper, chilli and tomato distilled with juniper in their 170-year-old Surrey Hills barn. It makes a Bloody Mary obsolete because the flavours are already in the gin.

Tasting

The nose is savoury umami with bacon and pepper. On the palate, bold bacon smokiness with chilli warmth and tomato richness — juniper providing structure. The finish is warming chilli with savoury character.

The Bottom Line

Gin Kitchen Full English earns a 7 for sheer audacity. Bacon gin sounds like a gimmick, but the execution — with proper juniper backbone — actually works. Divisive, bold, and the ultimate breakfast-inspired spirit. Pour instead of making a Bloody Mary.
