Bathtub Gin

I buy my wife a bottle of Gin on a monthly basis. We used to be in the Gin club but found it far too expensive. They put too much emphasis on silly snacks rather than the gin, so we opted out and I now look for small batch vendors myself. It costs less and it’s a nice surprise for her.Anyhoo… my boozehound-missus describes this gin as “alright”, when I asked her opinion prior to writing this. I don’t drink gin so have no frame of reference.She tells me that it’s smooth but has no stand-out qualities. The botanicals and flavour are tame and it lacks depth. I’m told it smacks of a home-brewed gin… we have a gin still of our own and I can relate to that. Making gin is fun and time consuming, but it takes work (hence we buy plenty) and more work is needed here.

Have tried many a Gin not just in the UK, but around the world and can easily state, this Gin outweighs them all...The taste is just sublime and mixed with plenty of Ice and a Good Tonic Water, you cannot beat it...Please stop putting the price up as now running at £31 a bottle, when it was £25 for a very long time (25% increase is rather heavy.......)

Tried this at Wetherspoons and decided to get a bottle, it’s really rather nice. It’s overpriced at £31 so loses a star. I have noticed on gins the strength can vary a lot so worth reading the label seen various from 20-57%.There are 100’s of gins out there currently but this is a solid choice, recommended

I bought this as a present for my partner as he is such a gin lover. I never heard of ot before but I have decided to try it as it had good reviews even if the look of the bottle to me is not that appealing.I'm so glad a gave it a chance, the taste is lovely and will be definitely buying it again!

Very nice gin

After having this at someone’s house we had to buy a bottle.Both my spouse and I love a nice gin on a hot/warm day and have tried and acquired many.Serve with a ball of ice tonic and a slice of orange.Other favourites of ours include the original Tanqueray with A ice, tonic and a wedge of lime, Malfy Rosa with ice tonic and a slice of pink grapefruit, and the Rhubarb & Ginger Gin by Edinburgh Gin served with ice, tonic and a frozen piece of rhubarb

My wife and I have, over the last year or two, taken a shine to gin since its renaissance as a craft item. We have tried numerous small batch and craft gins since then. On a friend's suggestion we decided to try Ableforth's Bathtub gin and were absolutely delighted by it.It managed to be big and bold on the palate with warming spice notes but simultaneously very floral! Subtle citrus alongside a big juniper hit makes this delicious. It really goes well with premium tonic waters or citrus hinted tonics. This is going to be a repeat guest in my drinks cabinet.Plus the brown paper, string and wax top all make it look very appealing too

Purchased when on offer, paid £25 which is superb value. Often is on sale for much more.Bottle design is great with the paper overlay, adds a Victorian chemist feel to the experience.Gin itself is vibrant, juniper notes really come through. Very smooth....and utterly delicious.I would not suggest mixing with a favoured tonic, stick to a standard plain such as Fever Tree. Garnish with lemon and a few ice cubes. Some thoughts on how to mix, my preferred is 1/3rd Gin 2/3rds Tonic.Would make a great gift for a fan or for anyone seeking an upgrade from Gordons.
