Tasting Notes

Nose

Pine needles with floral pink pepper — aromatic sweetness with clear juniper dominance

Palate

Bold dry juniper throughout — warming spice with fresh citrus, the double juniper creating intensity without harshness, bright citrus with black pepper finish

Finish

Citrus and spices giving way to earthy notes — continued dry juniper that satisfies purists and modernists alike

First Impressions

Gyre & Gimble Double Juniper intensifies their London Dry with a double dose of juniper — a punchy classic from this Norwich lockdown-born distillery inspired by Lewis Carroll. Everything they produce wins IWSC Gold at 92-93 points.

Tasting

The nose shows pine needles with floral pink pepper and aromatic sweetness. On the palate, bold dry juniper with warming spice and fresh citrus — intense without harshness. The finish sees citrus giving way to earthy dry juniper.

The Bottom Line

Gyre & Gimble Double Juniper earns an 8 for a straight-hitting London Dry that delivers for juniper lovers. The double dose creates intensity that their Atlas gin channels differently, and the IWSC Gold consistency is remarkable. Best with orange and juniper berries in a copa.
