First Impressions
Tiptree English Raspberry Gin Liqueur follows the same Wilkin & Sons approach as their Damson — hand-picked English raspberries rested in Hayman's London Dry Gin. The Tiptree jam-making heritage means they understand raspberry character at a molecular level.
Tasting
The nose is ripe, freshly plucked raspberries — incredibly fruity, sweet and irrepressibly present. On the palate, sweet fruitiness with a slightly tart green note like a cold plump raspberry in your mouth. Lovely and mild with a cheeky white pepperiness. The finish is rich and smooth.
The Bottom Line
Tiptree English Raspberry earns a 7 for jam-making expertise applied to gin. The raspberry character is unmistakeable and genuine, and the slight pepperiness on the finish adds sophistication. At around £19, fruit liqueur quality from Essex's finest preserve makers.
