About British Polo Gin
British Polo Gin was launched in 2016 by father and son team Nick and Richard Hine. The family have a pedigree of top level polo players and Richard retired from playing polo professionally and sold is top polo mares to launch British Polo Gin. The name also harks back to the popularity of gin with polo players since the first polo match in 1859 featuring British Officers in India. The 100% organic gin is third-party distilled in small batches of 150 bottles at Da Mhile Distillery in Wales and features spring water and organic botanicals including elderflower, cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla. The Gin Guide says... From British Polo Gin's patriotic branding you might anticipate a classic London Dry style gin. As soon as you open the bottle the aromas let you know that it's a gin with a twist that all makes sense when informed about founder Richard Hine's experience with Australian gins, which are typically lighter on juniper and with more floral and sweet botanicals. British Polo Gin captures a fine balance between the traditional British and modern Australian styles of gin, with floral and sweet notes balancing with cardomom, earthy cinnamon and a smooth, peppery finish. The gin lives up to the statements on the bottle and British Polo Gin is certainly smooth and versatile. With a juniper garnish it makes a superb G&T and is equally enjoyable with a mint or basil garnish. - Reviewer: Paul Jackson - 2016 You Might Also Like...
