Hotham's Gin - Review & Tasting Notes

Hotham's Original Gin
Founded in January 2018 by Emma Kinton and Simon Pownall who had met over a G&T in 2017, Hotham’s is a Gin School and distillery based in a Grade 2 listed retail arcade in the Old Town area of Hull. Their debut and flagship gin, Hotham's Original Gin, is produced in batches of up to 50 bottles in a copper alembic still. Alongside traditional botanicals such as juniper, coriander seeds and orris root, the gin features floral rose and lavender, earthy cardamom and spicy pink peppercorns. The gin is named in honour of John Hotham, Governor of Hull in 1642, who reportedly refused a visit to Hull from King Charles I and toasted his decision with a glass of gin. |

The Gin Guide Review
Hotham's Original Gin is fragrant and flavoursome, bringing together juniper, soft spice, earthiness and florals. In a big burst of flavour upfront on the palate, coriander seeds provide their citrus character to neatly balance with the juniper, green cardamom, lavender and rose. Pink peppercorns give underlying spice that develops further in the dry finish that has good length, and the mouthfeel is smooth and soft. It is a gin that will certainly appeal to many through holding onto classic elements while also having its own distinct character. When mixed it makes for an enjoyable and moreish G&T. A slice of lime is an ideal garnish starting point. - Paul Jackson, 2019 |
