Ableforth's Bathtub Gin Review & Tasting Notes


About Bathtub Gin

  • Price Band: £30 - £35

Ableforth's Bathtub Gin, created by Tunbridge Wells based Atom Brands, is produced using the Cold Compound process whereby 6 botanicals, including cinnamon, cardamom and cloves, are infused in a base spirit in a copper pot still before being filtered out. The base of Bathtub Gin is a botanical spirit distilled in pot stills by Langley Distillery in the West Midlands. This traditional process, which takes up to 2 days to complete, gives the gin its subtle bronze tint. Each bottle is then wrapped, strung and waxed by hand.  

The Gin Guide Review
Bathtub Gin is creamy and warming, with spices such as cloves and and cinnamon being well-balanced with bold juniper and citrus from the orange peel. The cold compound production process is used to exceptional effect through the use of high quality botanicals. The brown paper, string and wax finish to the bottle work cleverly in tandem with the 'homemade' connotations of the 'bathtub' name and production style. Ideal for a winter gin and tonic (garnish with orange peel or cinnamon) or with ginger ale. - Paul Jackson, 2016

"It’s all about the process of cold compounding. We are a bunch of spirit geeks and the 'art of flavour' is a massive thing for us, so crafting a gin with the freshest and truest botanical delivery became a bit of an obsession." - Read the full interview
