First Impressions
Penrhos Cloudy Rhubarb Gin uses 250ml of pure red rhubarb juice blended with the award-winning Penrhos Dry Gin base, giving it a genuine cloudy pink colour that reflects the quantity of real fruit. No artificial colouring — the cloudiness comes from the rhubarb itself.
Tasting
The nose opens with tart rhubarb and soft citrus. On the palate, a tart burst of fresh rhubarb is replaced by soft citrus and herbal notes, with a smooth rounded texture from the Penrhos Dry base. The finish is crisp with lingering rhubarb tang. Serve with tonic and orange rather than lemon.
The Bottom Line
Penrhos Cloudy Rhubarb earns a 6.5 for using real rhubarb juice rather than flavouring — the cloudy pink is honest and the tang is genuine. At around £32, a Herefordshire farm rhubarb gin with authentic fruit character.
