Smugglers Orange Gin, Small Batch, Full Strength Flavoured Gin, 38% Scottish Gin 70cl

I know this is a lot of detail for a review, but hey, if it helps someone out, why not share it? I got it and gave it a go without reading any reviews or the description to avoid setting expectations and to just enjoy it as it is.Firstly, this is gonna upset a lot of gin connoisseurs, I drink my gin the Snoop Dogg way - with juice. Try it with a splash of pineapple and mango juice, with one of those gin infusion tea bags 5/5 experience.That being said I'm now at a point in my life where I'm actively trying to lower my sugar intake, so I mix it with the lemon cloudy flavoured Ice water. Honestly, life changing. It's refreshing, I get a nice buzz on without getting a hangover the next day.I poured myself a glass, mixed in the cloudy lemon ice water garnished with a mint leaf and I was vibing. I felt classy and my friends clowned me less than usual once they tried a sip. On it's own not a fan, lowkey reminds me of negroni, or a bitter orange cocktail, the orange is very subtle, the dry gin taste deffo dominates, it works better with lemon or lime as a refreshing citrus bevvy.Now the important question would I buy this again? No, however I would 100% purchase the brands other flavours. It's £32 at the time I write this review, I've paid a lot more, for a lot worse. The bottles and branding's cool too.

The 38% ABV Scottish small batch Gin, Smugglers branded and the flavours that come in Strawberry, Raspberry and Orange varieties that are definitely full of flavour, not overpowering but not subtle that you cant really taste it either, such a really nice drink to have and i can vouch for that the amount that has already been 'sampled' with the chance to try all three flavours, that the unique bottle, branding and marketing of this it is a great name and drink to actually say that i love it.The three flavours are really nice in their own ways and the price is at first expensive, but the extra price point is because it isn't a 'run of the mill' normal gin, it really is rather nice to have something different and would look great on a gantry in a bar or private home on a drink cabinet.

My wife has risen to the challenge and has been successfully knocking this back.She says it is very smooth with a subtle taste of orange but you can still tell it's a gin.The bottle is very nice and would make a great gift due to its unusual artisan appearance.Any negatives? Well there's no getting away from that it does have a slightly unsavoury colour and there is some sediment which I'm not sure if you should let settle or should shake to mix it up. Either way it doesn't affect the taste and when the drink is mixed the colour and sediment aren't an issue.A very nice unusual drink, recommend.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this orange flavoured gin. It wasn't the sickly sweet and artificial punch I was expecting, but was a very well balanced floral citrus taste. It hints at the 'negroni-style' bitterness of zest and peel, balanced with a hint of sweetness that's far from the overwhelming sweetness of a marmalade or jam. A lovely flavour profile.
