First Impressions
Wolfe Bros Pear & Fig Gin was initially produced as a limited winter edition but proved so popular it was added to the main lineup. The combination of fresh green orchard pear and the subtle sweetness of fig creates a warming, autumnal gin that bridges the gap between everyday drinking and seasonal special.
Tasting
The nose is impressive and charming with orchard fruit warmth. On the palate, the gin is rich and balanced, with fresh green orchard fruits meeting subtle fig sweetness. The warming, deep profile carries dried fruit notes. The finish is almost savoury and biscuity — an unexpected conclusion that makes this gin distinctive. Serve with fruited tonic, orange twist, and rosemary sprig.
The Bottom Line
Wolfe Bros Pear & Fig earns a 7 for a winter edition so good it became permanent. The pear-fig combination is autumnal and warming, and the biscuity finish adds character. At around £36, a Yorkshire orchard in a glass.
