Brentingby Gin - Review & Tasting Notes
About Brentingby Gin
Brentingby Gin was launched in 2018 by Brentingby Distillery in Leicestershire, founded by South African Bruce Midgely. Bruce formerly worked in the oil and gas industry before teaming up with Tom Nichol (former Master Distillery at Tanqueray) to learn and hone the skills of distilling. Brentingby Gin is inspired by the surrounding countryside and Bruce's South African roots, and it is named after the hamlet near Melton Mowbray in which the distillery is located. The distillery is home to Bruce's self-designed still which is named Ayanda - the Zulu word for 'augment' or 'proliferation'. |
The Gin Guide Review: There's a plethora of products on the market whereby impressive bottles shroud less impressive gins inside, however, Brentingby Gin is absolutely not one of these products. Brentingby Gin's eye-catching bottle is more than matched by the mouth-watering juniper and citrus led spirit inside. It has exceptional quality, depth of flavour and balance thanks to savoury birch, sweet liquorice, zesty grapefruit, floral hibiscus, and dry and piney juniper. Bruce and Brentingby Gin have created a buzz amongst influencers in the gin industry and it is truly merited - a hugely impressive debut. - Paul Jackson, 2018

Meet the Makers"We’re quite small, based on a farm just outside Melton Mowbray. As we also live on the farm it means it’s very much a personal operation and one that we had to get right." - Bruce Midgely, Founder
