That's the Spirit® The Dorset Dry® is a fresh approach to London Dry gin, balancing ten select botanicals with the Dorset notes of elderberries, samphire and handpicked gorse flowers.

Distilled and bottled in Dorset's first gin distillery, the Dorset Dry embodies the bright and refreshing spirit of the county. Well-balanced and Juniper-led, with 10 select botanicals, including marsh samphire, elderberries and hand-picked gorse flowers foraged from across the Dorset coast.

No gimmicks. No fuss. Just top-notch small batch gin. Distilled in Dorset from British wheat spirit and New Forest Spring Water.

Tasting Notes: You can expect an intricate gin that's slightly less dry than its London cousin. Complex, layered and with a bright freshness and intriguingly long finish that invites the second sip.

Aroma: Juniper pine forward with a hint of crisp lime citrus. Bright and purposeful.

Taste: Neat brings a complex big flavour that's well balanced, with no one botanical spoiling the show. While the wheat spirit is smooth and creamy with appropriate level of heat. Juniper leads, followed spice and slightly sweetened by herbaceous blue-fruit notes of elderberries.

Finish: Long lingering citrus. A lovely compliment of dry and sweet.

Cocktail: Clover club. This one can't fail to impress. Go from novice to pro in just a few shakes. A wonderfully pretty serve, with a beauty that is way more than skin deep. You'll often see this made with grenadine or raspberry syrup - we'd always recommend going with fresh raspberries to do this elegant serve justice.

Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week.

Features: Hand crafted in Dorset by Conker Spirit, Spirits distilled from British wheat and New Forest Spring Water.

Country of origin: England.

Preparation and Usage: The Serve. We have incorporated fresh lime peel into the botanical recipe of the Dorset Dry, which means that when lengthened with tonic, it becomes zesty and clean and incredibly refreshing. With a classic Indian tonic we recommend keeping it simple with either a strip of lime or grapefruit peel. Using the peel rather than the fruit keeps the drink dry and lets the gin shine through and do all the talking!

Package type: Bottle.
