First Impressions
Mallows Welsh Dry Gin is a high-botanical single-shot gin infused with chamomile — the calming herb that gives the gin its distinctive soothing character. Produced by a father and son team in South Wales, Mallows brings international distilling experience to artisan Welsh production.
Tasting
The nose is complex yet not overwhelming. On the palate, chamomile's soothing character meets a perfect balance of botanicals — smooth and comforting, like sipping herbal tea with gin authority. Subtle citrus and herbal complexity emerge at mid-palate. The finish is clean and soothing, with chamomile lingering on the palate with a sense of relaxation. Serve with elderflower tonic and cucumber.
The Bottom Line
Mallows Welsh Dry earns a 7 for making chamomile the star of a well-balanced Welsh gin. The soothing, herbal-tea-like character is unique and appealing, and the single-shot distillation ensures maximum botanical expression. At around £30, a calming Welsh gin from a father-son team.
