Strane Gin Review & Tasting Notes
About Strane Gin
Based in Hunnebostrand in Sweden, Strane Merchant Strength London Dry Gin is produced in-house in a 100L pot still at the Smogen Whiskey Distillery. To create Strane gin they distill three base spirits: juniper, citrus and herbal, and combine them to make a smooth gin that is led by juniper, coriander and herbal flavours. The Gin Guide says... Strane Merchant Strength gin has huge amounts of character whilst still delivering on being a high quality, classic London dry gin. It is full-bodied and well-balanced, and with the juniper coming through clearly alongside coriander and citrus, it makes an excellent gin and tonic and a fine martini. You Might Also Like... For another well-balanced gin with citrus, try Sipsmith Gin or try Seven Dials gin for another smooth, full-bodied gin. For another Scandinavian Gin try Helsinki Gin. |
