A few botanicals used in this gin are coriander, anise, fennel, and caraway seeds. The spirit opens up with vibrant citrus top notes that lead the way for a mild peppery note from the caraway seeds.

People who want to be play up it’s more traditional gin like character will like it straight from the freezer and mixed with a modicum of dry Vermouth. A 12:1 Martini is a bit Churchillian for some, but I found it to be delicious.During their work as bartenders, they educated themselves on what a superior spirit should taste like, so with this knowledge, they created their liquor company with quality, flavor, and a sense of place at its core. Pretty much all of these gins are great for a nice, refreshing summer drink. Most of them work pretty well in a classic gin & tonic with some Mediterranean tonic water. It’s also greatly recommended to try these fruity en sweet gins in a spritz as an afternoon or cordial drink. This gin is very bright and a bit zesty with hints of anise and really strong candied orange notes. The undertones consist of licorice and cassia. Like many of J.J. Whitley’s spirits, this one is a great addition to any alcohol collection. 9. Tarquin’s Cornish Sunshine Blood Orange Gin

Especially their lemon gin and their grapefruit gin are considered to be one of the best, if not the best, lemon and grapefruit gins out there. Their blood orange gin, the Malfy Gin Con Arancia, is also a pretty commonly used gin.Even though Malfy isn’t as well-known as Beefeater, they have made quite a name for themselves as one of the best citrus-forward gins. Beefeater’s blood orange gin is also a really popular gin amongst the blood orange gin (liqueurs), which is probably partly due to the fact that Beefeater is already really well-known. Liam and Mark, both founders of Didsbury Gin, forged their friendship over countless nights of drinking gin & tonics in different establishments all over their hometown: Didsbury.

The Con Arancia is a very sweet, juicy, and refreshing drink. It’s not always considered to be one of the best blood orange gins if you purely look at the taste. Beautiful and bright, Whitley Neill Blood Orange Gin leads with sweet orange. Notes of fresh sweet orange zest, mineola and a hint of bitter orange round it. It’s big and citrus-forward.Together with the other botanicals, they create a gin that gives sweet and zesty notes of blood orange. There’s also a slight hint of fennel in the spirit. Jared Brown recommends serving this gin with a Fever-Tree Mediterranean tonic and an orange wheel as a garnish. 5. Redcastle Blood Orange and Rhubarb Gin Liqueur This bottle of gin is not meant for the faint of heart. This is not just because it’s a strong drink, but the bottle itself is actually quite startling. The bottle has the model of a devil’s head, which is the main theme of the brand Fallen Angel. Redcastle’s gins have become increasingly popular over the last few years. Especially in Scotland, the brand’s popularity has been rising quite steadily. Aside from just gin, Redcastle also specializes in spiced rum and prosecco.

This could be due to the fact that expectations of this gin were high because people thought it had to be just as good as their lemon and grapefruit gin. It is sometimes perceived as a bit too soapy or the hint of grapefruit is too much.

Overall, Whitley Neill Blood Orange Gin

The gin begins as the flagship Whitley Neill Gin, distilled on a century old copper pot still, and then has blood orange extract added. Tasting Notes Redcastle has made a bunch of amazing fruity gins like passion fruit & mango, raspberry & pomegranate liqueur, and, of course, the blood orange & rhubarb gin liqueur. The blood orange notes added to this gin complement the citrusy flavors very well and this results in a crisp and refreshing spirit. Like all gins on this list, this gin goes perfectly with a gin & tonic, but with some fresh orange juice, lime juice, and some runny honey, you can create an amazing Sicilian Sunset. 4.
