First Impressions
Jillions is named for Auntie Margie (Margaret Jillion), who worked cracking German Enigma codes at Bletchley Park during WWII. She died of breast cancer in the late 1970s. The botanical recipe is 'TOP SECRET' — written on the label in big letters, honouring her wartime secrecy.
Tasting
TOP SECRET botanicals. Herbaceous smooth nose. Light super-smooth palate. Clean herbaceous finish.
The Bottom Line
Jillions earns a 7 — the Bletchley Park tribute adds genuine meaning to a well-made gin. The secret recipe is a fitting tribute. At £37, a codebreaker's memorial in a bottle.
