First Impressions
Lyme Bay Dry Gin comes from Devon's Lyme Bay Winery — a producer with decades of experience creating fine beverages. The gin uses a careful selection of botanicals including verbena alongside classic juniper and triple citrus, seeking subtle expressions rather than bold overwhelming notes.
Tasting
The nose is intoxicating verbena with fresh orange peel, lemon and lime alongside traditional juniper and floral notes. On the palate, beautifully fresh and invigorating with layered citrus character and room for other flavours to breathe — smooth and elegant. The finish is clean and sophisticated.
The Bottom Line
Lyme Bay Dry earns a 7 for winery-quality finesse applied to gin. The verbena adds an aromatic lift that elevates it beyond basic citrus gins, and the winery's experience with flavour balance shows in every sip. Best with fine tonic and a lemon twist, or in a dry Martini.
