Brands are trying to be more innovative and are trying to keep up with the increasing demand for different kinds of gin. One of those new flavored gins is lemon based gin. As you may have noticed, they use a ton of different lemon parts to really capture the lemon flavors as much as possible.

Their range of gins consists of a dry gin, a master blend dry gin, a pomegranate gin, a cherry gin, and a mojito gin among a few other exceptional gins. The main focus of this gin was to still stay with the juniper-forward gin but to add a little something extra to it. On the nose, the lemon is quite aromatic and very present, while it doesn’t overpower the juniper at all. Hints of honey are noticeable scents as well. It’s remarkably different to the V1 & V2 prototype gins the brand released in the months preceding the launch, but it’s clear to see the thought process that’s gone in from them to this final outcome and overall- it’s a really well assembled Gin. As a flavour structure it has been distilled perfectly to deliver the three main elements, which are all clear and present, arrive in deliberate succession and have a graceful clarity when they do. The secondary citrus elements ( coriander seed, lemongrass, kaffir) help add some levity towards the finish, which would otherwise be like getting lashed by pine, while elements like mace, cardamom and pink peppercorns add a little complexity throughout. It’s nice to see almonds being used to add some weight to the mouthfeel too. The expression tends to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but the irony here may well be that until the controversy has fully quelled and they have found confidence in their voice, they could well choose to a sheep disguised in wolfish attire and fly under the radar for a little longer. Going on Brewdog’s history, though, this seems unlikely. BREWDOG DISTILLING: We're here to bring honest, charismatic, true-tasting spirits to the people.

User Notes about the Distillery

The last spirit on this list is not exactly a gin, but instead, it’s a gin liqueur. This mainly means that the Alcohol By Volume or ABV of this gin is lower than 37.5% which is the required amount for gin. Lone Wolf as a distillery set its stall out as being different from the offset. They make their spirits from grain to glass, ensure that they are distinct in their character and produce them on a scale that will make them affordable to all. The scale they are working at incidentally, makes them one of the largest distilleries in the UK, and one of the bigger establishments to have launched in the since Adnam’s made its comparable move to extend from brewing into distilling. When one considers it all in context, however, Lone Wolf is not as large as it might at first appear. LoneWolf partnered up with Brewdog for this amazing lemon-based gin. LoneWolf is a rather small gin brand with a quest for the perfect spirit. They’ve made a few different gins already with Cactus and Lime gin and the Cloudy Lemon gin among them.

Their blood orange gin is also an amazing, sweet variant to their classic dry gin, but that one’s maybe a little less known. They contain more citrusy notes and are often perceived as a bit more easy-to-drink and refreshing than other gins. This, however, goes more for the people who don’t really enjoy the classic piney and dry taste standard gins offer.
