Gin lovers, get ready for a refreshing adventure with this month’s Gin Club box! At the heart of the box is a beautiful 70cl bottle of Crag & Tail Gin, paired perfectly with Bon Accord tonics and a bonus Porter’s Tropical Old Tom miniature. Let’s dive into the full details and see why this month’s selection is one to remember, focusing on the star of the show—Crag & Tail Gin.

Crag & Tail Gin comes to us from the picturesque landscapes of Scotland, offering a crisp, refreshing flavour profile that’s as invigorating as it is approachable. Crafted with a blend of carefully chosen botanicals, this gin stands out for its unique mix of classic and modern elements. Whether you’re a gin connoisseur or someone just dipping their toes into the world of gin, Crag & Tail is a must-try.

Here’s where the magic of Crag & Tail really shines: its delightful combination of botanicals. Balancing traditional gin foundations with a fun, fruity twist, these ingredients come together to create a wonderfully refreshing spirit.

• Juniper: The backbone of any great gin, delivering the signature piney, fresh flavor.
• Angelica: Earthy and woody, grounding the gin with depth and a hint of herbal complexity.
• Coriander: Offering subtle spice and citrus undertones, coriander adds warmth to the flavor profile.
• Liquorice: A touch of sweetness comes from this botanical, rounding out the sharper notes and enhancing the smoothness.
• Watermelon: This is where Crag & Tail really gets exciting! The inclusion of watermelon adds a juicy, refreshing twist that makes the gin incredibly light and summery.
• Elderflower: Delicate and floral, elderflower brings a soft sweetness and elegance to the mix.

The combination of these botanicals creates a gin that’s both refreshing and complex, perfect for any occasion. The fresh, fruity hit from the watermelon and elderflower is balanced beautifully by the traditional gin elements like juniper, angelica, and coriander.

• Nose: Fresh and bright with an inviting blend of juniper, citrus, and subtle floral hints.
• Palate: Juniper and citrus take centre stage on the palate, with a subtle hint of spice that complements the gin.
• Finish: A clean, crisp finish with lingering notes of citrus and a hint of soft fruit.

For the perfect serve, try mixing 50ml of Crag & Tail with a premium tonic from this month’s box. Garnish with a slice of citrus fruit or some fresh watermelon to enhance the gin’s fruity and floral notes.

To complement the fresh flavours of Crag & Tail, this month’s box includes a selection of Bon Accord mixers:

• 2 Original Bon Accord Tonics: These tonics offer a balanced sweetness that pairs perfectly with the watermelon and elderflower in the gin.
• 2 Bon Accord Light & Dry Tonics: A lighter, less sweet option that lets the complex botanicals of Crag & Tail shine through.

This month’s box also features a 5cl Porter’s Tropical Old Tom miniature—a tropical twist on the traditional Old Tom gin style. Infused with tropical fruits like passionfruit and guava, this gin adds a fun, fruity kick to any cocktail.

If you’re new to Old Tom gins, this miniature is the perfect introduction, giving you a sweeter, more tropical experience compared to London Dry gins.

Here are a few ways to enjoy the delicious selection in this month’s Gin Club box:

• Classic Crag & Tail G&T: Pour 50ml of Crag & Tail Gin over ice, top with Bon Accord Original Tonic, and garnish with a slice of fresh watermelon or orange peel.
• Light & Dry Serve: Mix Crag & Tail with the Bon Accord Light & Dry Tonic for a refreshing, low-calorie option. Garnish with a lemon twist for an extra burst of zest.
• Tropical Old Tom Sipper: Enjoy the Porter’s Tropical Old Tom neat over ice, or mix it with a splash of tonic for a fruity, easy-going cocktail. Try garnishing with a slice of pineapple for extra tropical vibes.
