Renegade New Age London Gin: A Boldly Herbaceous Adventure for Gin Connoisseurs

The General Wine is proud to offer Renegade New Age London Gin, a contemporary spirit that breaks free from tradition and delivers a refreshingly herbaceous punch. This award-winning gin, crafted by the innovative Doghouse Distillery, is the perfect choice for adventurous drinkers seeking a unique and flavourful experience.

Grain to Glass Distinction:

Renegade stands out for being one of the few gins in the UK distilled entirely "grain to glass." This meticulous process allows Doghouse Distillery to have complete control over the quality and character of the spirit, resulting in a truly exceptional gin.

A Symphony of Botanicals:

Renegade boasts a complex symphony of 14 botanicals, including the classic juniper base expected in a London Gin. However, it's the inclusion of unconventional botanicals that sets this gin apart.

  • Green Heroes: Fresh, leafy notes come courtesy of bay, sage, and winter savoury. These botanicals introduce a delightful herbal character, reminiscent of a fragrant summer garden.
  • Spicy Intrigue: A touch of warmth and spice is delivered by cardamom and Grains of Paradise, a unique West African pepper. These elements add an intriguing complexity that keeps the palate engaged.

Tasting Renegade New Age London Gin:

On the Nose:

The initial aroma presents a delightful balance between the juniper backbone and the vibrant herbal notes. Hints of pine and citrus peel mingle with the earthy character of bay leaf and the subtle warmth of cardamom.

On the Palate:

The first sip delivers a burst of juniper freshness, quickly followed by the explosion of herbaceous flavours. The sage and winter savoury come alive, offering a savoury and slightly peppery character. Cardamom adds a touch of warmth, while the Grains of Paradise provide a subtle peppery tingle. The juniper remains present throughout, ensuring a balanced and distinctly gin-like experience.

The Finish:

The finish is clean and lingering, with the juniper and peppery spice gently fading away, leaving a pleasant herbal aftertaste.

Serving Suggestions:

Renegade New Age London Gin's bold flavour profile makes it a versatile spirit, perfect for enjoying neat, on the rocks, or as the star ingredient in creative cocktails. Here are some suggestions to get you started:

  • The Renegade Martini: A modern twist on the classic. Combine 50ml Renegade gin with 15ml dry vermouth and a dash of orange bitters. Stir well with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a sprig of fresh sage.
  • Renegade & Tonic: A refreshing and simple serve. Fill a highball glass with ice, add 50ml Renegade gin, and top with a premium tonic water. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of rosemary.
  • Herbal Gin Fizz:  For a touch of sweetness, try this twist on a Gin Fizz. Combine 50ml Renegade gin, 20ml lemon juice, 15ml simple syrup, and one egg white (optional) in a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled coupette glass. Top with soda water and garnish with a sprig of mint.

Beyond the Basics:

Renegade New Age London Gin's unique character allows it to shine in a variety of cocktails. Experiment with different herbal liqueurs, citrus juices, and even savoury elements like cucumber or fennel to create your own signature drinks.
