First Impressions
Solway Strawberries & Cream captures the quintessentially British summer combination — strawberries, vanilla, and a touch of black peppercorn spice over the Solway London Dry base.
Tasting
The nose is piney juniper with strawberries and cream. On the palate, sweet strawberries balance with creamy smooth vanilla and a hint of heat from the peppercorns. The finish is rich and smooth. Serve with sliced strawberries, fresh mint, tonic, and ice.
The Bottom Line
Solway Strawberries & Cream earns a 6.5 for capturing summer's favourite flavour combination with the gin backbone to keep it interesting. The black peppercorn addition is the clever touch. At around £34, Wimbledon fortnight in a glass.
