Conker Gin- By Caterer Steve James *

I sampled a bottle of the stunning Conker Spirit Dorset Dry Gin. As a caterer covering the Dorset and Somerset area I feel using local produce is key. Conker Spirit is Dorset’s first gin distillery. They have taken a modern approach to gin rather than using an old recipe. This creates a fresh and unique gin and is rather exciting.

Created using British wheat spirit and New Forest spring water. Their slogan explains it perfectly. “No gimmicks. No fuss. Just top-notch small batch gin distilled in Dorset.”

The Dry gin is created with their own special mix of ten botanicals. The botanicals include gorse flowers, elderberries and samphire. They distill and bottle the gin themselves at the distillery based in Bournemouth down the back streets.

About the gin

So onto the gin itself! The bottle has a beautifully unique shape and a beautiful copper top. The slogan “That’s the spirit circle the neck of the bottle. Each bottle is individually hand signed by Rupert Holloway the founder of Conker Spirit. The Gin has a great contrast of sweet, bitter and fresh notes. It is a superb smooth and light gin containing citrus and floral notes. It also has a hint of juniper and I think a hint of citrus such as lime. There is a woody dry taste on the finish of this gin. None of the ten botanicals overpower the other, they are in perfect balance. The quality of this gin certainly shines through. To find out where you can purchase your own bottle of Conker Spirit Dry Gin please visit their website at www.conkerspirit.co.uk
