Thomas Dakin Gin
From: G&J Distillers from Quintessential Brands
Thomas Dakin Gin is a small batch gin of unmistakable savoury character, handcrafted using the finest, carefully selected botanicals and inspired by Thomas Dakin, the forefather of quality English gin.
Distilled by hand in a baby copper pot still, Thomas Dakin Gin is a classic-style juniper-led, single London Dry Gin. Its notes of sweet orange and citrus are enlivened by distinctive red cole (horseradish), a root botanical used in refreshing cordials in 18th century northern England, that gives our gin its long, lingering finish.
Thomas Dakin Gin has been recognised for its outstanding quality, winning many leading international awards; its most recent include a Gold Medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2019 and Best British London Dry Gin in The Gin Masters 2018, a global competition judged by industry experts.
