About Cotswolds Dry Gin:
Cotswolds Dry Gin is a delectable blend of nine carefully-considered botanicals, including lavender from the Cotswolds and freshly-peeled pink grapefruit and lime zest. Cotswolds Distillery use over 10 times the amount of botanicals and do not chill filter the gin, which causes a beautiful pearlescent cloud to appear when ice or tonic is added, known as The Cloudy G&T.
Cotswolds Dry Gin has fresh notes of citrussy grapefruit. It is clean on the palate with subtle lime and lavender and has a cooling finish with juniper and citrus.
