Chalkstream Gold Gin 70cl by River Test Distillery (40% ABV) | Green & Herby Gin with a Lemony Zest – Infused with Juniper, Maris Otter Barley & Gin Botanicals | Small Batch Gin Distilled in Hampshire

Absolutely wonderful gin - mellow yet complex, smooth but packs a punch. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a cold G&T on a hot and sunny day!

Best with soda. Delicious.

This is a rather lovely London Gin on both the taste and presentation fronts.The bottle looks gorgeous with the green glass at the bottom fading upwards into the bottle. The neck features the batch and bottle number (I got 449 of 450, Batch 21), and that immediately makes this feel special and unique. Who doesn't love the idea of a limited edition? Finally there is a cork stopper to add to the premium appearance. If you are gifting it for someone then I'm sure they would be impressed.As for the drinking experience then this is also as premium. I had it mixed with plain tonic over ice and on pulling the stopper out you can instantly smell the freshness of juniper and citrus on the nose. When sipped I got those familiar London Gin flavours of juniper and citrus, but I was surprised by a lychee-like sweetness on the palate and in the finish which was delicious.This then is a great gin experience for those looking for a premium London Gin.

The botanicals seem fairly traditional. There’s certainly juniper and I get subtle citrus and herbs, the herbs being bay and rosemary. It’s a clear, bright, tasty gin. Very refreshing and a nice drink for the evenings.The bottle looks gorgeous with the green glass at the bottom of the bottle.

Tried this over the Christmas period so got to enjoy with friends and family who all commented on the smoothness of this extremely tasty gin and it went down very very well! Maybe a little too easy!I am a member of a gin craft club so I’d like to think I know my gins, i loved the rosemary botanicals and the peppery kick.So taste is a big tick from me and personally I love a good looking bottle for my drinks display and this certainly looks great with its ombré design!A wonderful gift for a gin lover or a treat for yourself - it’s maybe on the pricer side but it’s worth it to not have a hangover from the lower spec brands.

Never get tired of trying new gins and this is a top scorer for me! So smooth and clean and the additional notes are very, very mild and hard to notice unless you really focus on the taste whilst drinking it neat -which is lovely, really nice on it's own on the rocks (always a good sign of a decent gin) or with just a hint of mint and equally lovely with some ice cold tonic or a decent lemonade spritzer. Looking forward to trying it with other mixers but based just on drinking it clean would 100% recommend. Nice looking bottle too and really pleased with it so have saved it to our Amazon shopping list for the future.

A lovely bright, clear gin that’s super smooth. The herby, rosemary botanicals flavour really comes through with hints of citrus. The family enjoyed it over Christmas, and we’ve rationed it out since to make it last longer. Just finished the bottle and really enjoyed it. I personally have gin with lemonade, but other family members had it with tonic, both options are great!This is a premium gin, ideal for any gin lover as they will really appreciate the taste. The bottle is also gorgeous, great for display or to accompany a collection in a drinks cabinet.

The Test is a wonderful chalk stream and I was delighted to be able to try this gin. The awards it’s won tell you it’s something special. It didn’t disappoint.The botanicals seem fairly traditional. There’s certainly juniper, but I’m not sure what else. I get subtle citrus and herbs, the herbs apparently being bay and rosemary.It’s a clear, bright gin, the mouthfeel super-smooth. Minerally, herby…I’ve enjoyed sipping it neat but for me it’s at its best with a plain, quality tonic. Just not too much tonic!This is a premium gin, worth the £34.95 asking price.
