Rhubarb and Ginger Gin

Rhubarb and ginger gin has become one of the defining flavour combinations of the contemporary gin renaissance — a pairing that somehow manages to feel both quintessentially British and genuinely innovative. Rhubarb brings a tart, fruity sharpness that sits beautifully in a spirit base, while ginger adds warmth and a gentle heat that lingers through the finish. Together they create a gin with real personality, a blush pink colour that looks spectacular in a glass, and an aroma that’s immediately distinctive.

Tasting Notes

On the nose it’s immediately fruity and aromatic — fresh rhubarb, a hint of strawberry, and the warm spice of ginger coming through underneath. In the glass it carries that beautiful soft pink hue that makes it one of the more photogenic spirits around. On the palate the rhubarb tartness leads, with the ginger building gently through the mid-palate and into a warming, spiced finish. The juniper is present but supporting rather than dominant, which makes this a very accessible gin for people who find traditional styles too piney.

Verdict

Serve with premium tonic, plenty of ice, and a slice of orange or a thin slice of fresh rhubarb if you have it. Rhubarb and ginger gin makes a genuinely stunning G&T that converts people who claim not to like gin with remarkable regularity. It also works well in a simple soda and ice serve if you want to keep the flavour cleaner. A brilliant modern gin that earns its popularity.
