First Impressions
Solway Gingerlicious Gin infuses ginger, lime, and a hint of gingerbread syrup into the Dumfries & Galloway distillery's classic London Dry base — juniper, coriander, orris root, angelica, and citrus peel. The gingerbread syrup is the playful touch, adding biscuity sweetness alongside the heat of fresh ginger.
Tasting
The nose presents oriental ginger with aromatic sweet soft undertones — warming and inviting. On the palate, a hit of ginger arrives alongside lime freshness, with gingerbread syrup adding biscuity sweetness over the London Dry base. The finish delivers hints of sugar and spice — deliciously smooth and warming.
The Bottom Line
Solway Gingerlicious earns a 6.5 for a warming ginger gin with genuine heat and a playful gingerbread twist. The ginger-lime-gingerbread combination is moreish, and the London Dry base keeps it recognisably gin. At around £34, a Scottish ginger warming from the inside out.
