First Impressions
Redcastle Blood Orange & Rhubarb infuses ripe blood oranges and tangy local rhubarb into their award-winning thirteen-botanical gin base — hand-filled, sealed, wax-dipped and numbered by hand in Arbroath, Angus. The same kaffir lime and star anise backbone as the Original.
Tasting
The nose shows ripe blood orange with tangy rhubarb and warming Redcastle spice. On the palate, velvety texture with blood orange richness and rhubarb tang, thirteen-botanical spice depth. The finish is fruity with rhubarb tartness cutting through.
The Bottom Line
Redcastle Blood Orange & Rhubarb earns a 7 for artisanal Scottish fruit gin with genuine handcraft. The wax-dipped, numbered bottles reflect small-batch commitment, and the spicy base gin gives it more character than simpler fruit gins.
