Hayman's London Dry Gin: A Timeless Classic Unveiled (For the Discerning Gin Drinker)

Hayman's London Dry Gin, crafted by a family with over 150 years of distilling heritage, embodies the true essence of this classic spirit.  Pioneered in 1863, their time-tested recipe and meticulous hand-crafted approach result in a gin of remarkable crispness, complexity, and refreshing character.

On the Nose:

Hayman's London Dry Gin offers a clean and inviting aroma. Juniper, the quintessential gin botanical, forms the backbone, intertwined with subtle citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit. Hints of earthy angelica and peppery coriander add depth and intrigue. As the gin opens up, a touch of floral sweetness, perhaps lavender or chamomile, peeks through, creating a well-balanced and inviting bouquet.

On the Palate:

The first sip of Hayman's London Dry Gin delivers a burst of juniper freshness, invigorating the taste buds. The citrus notes from the nose come alive on the palate, offering a zesty counterpoint to the juniper's piney character. The earthy angelica root emerges, adding a touch of warmth and grounding the flavour profile. Coriander's subtle peppery spice builds subtly in the background, adding complexity without overpowering the delicate balance. The underlying floral sweetness, detected on the nose, translates into a gentle hint of liquorice on the tongue, further enriching the experience.

The Finish:

Hayman's London Dry Gin boasts a clean and refreshing finish. The juniper lingers pleasantly, its piney character interwoven with the citrus zest. The warmth of the angelica fades gently, leaving a subtle hint of liquorice and spice. This lingering complexity invites another sip, making Hayman's a truly captivating gin.
