Martin Miller's Gin is a London Dry Gin crafted in England .
Martin Miller's Gin stands out for its unique production process, which involves distilling the botanicals in England and then blending the spirit with pure Icelandic spring water. This gin is also notable for its use of two separate distillations - one for juniper and earthier botanicals, and another for citrus peels - which are then carefully combined to create a beautifully balanced flavor profile. An intriguing fact about Martin Miller's Gin is that it travels over 3,000 miles during its production journey, from England to Iceland and back again, earning it the nickname "the gin that goes to Iceland and back."
Martin Miller's Gin stands out for its unique production process, which involves shipping the distilled gin from England to Iceland for blending with pure Icelandic spring water. This exceptional water source, combined with a dual-distillation method that separates citrus and non-citrus botanicals, results in a remarkably smooth and balanced gin with a distinctive flavor profile featuring notes of citrus, juniper, and a subtle floral character.
Martin Miller's Gin shines in classic gin cocktails, where its smooth character and balanced botanical profile can truly stand out. It's equally delightful sipped neat or with a splash of tonic and a twist of citrus, making it a versatile choice for warm summer evenings or cozy winter nights, paired perfectly with light seafood dishes or sharp cheeses that complement its subtle complexity.
Nose: Crisp juniper leads, followed by bright citrus notes of lemon and lime zest. Subtle hints of cucumber and floral notes reminiscent of iris and violet emerge. A touch of black pepper provides a gentle spicy undertone.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. Juniper remains prominent but doesn't overpower. Fresh citrus flavors of lemon and orange peel mingle with a subtle sweetness. Coriander adds a light, earthy spice. The cucumber note becomes more pronounced, offering a cool, refreshing quality.
Finish: Long and clean. The juniper fades, allowing the citrus and floral notes to linger. A slight peppery warmth emerges, accompanied by a soft, sweet licorice flavor. The finish is notably smooth, with a subtle mineral quality attributed to the Icelandic spring water used in production.
Martin Miller's Gin undergoes a unique two-country distillation process, with the spirit first created in England using traditional copper pot stills, then shipped to Iceland where it's blended with pure glacial water. This unusual method, which the brand calls "wedding the spirit to the water," is said to contribute to the gin's exceptionally smooth texture and clean, crisp flavor profile.

View RecipesJust before visiting Iceland, I decided that I needed to try this gin, finished using Icelandic glacier water. It made for a nice martini, albeit a bit sweeter than my usual go-tos using Plymouth or Botanist. More of a change-up drink than an every day, but quite enjoyable.
Ordered a bottle because Anders Erickson used it in his martini video. Very disappointed. The nose is harsh and antiseptic. No hint of juniper. Tastes like diluted Everclear to me. Maybe the batch I had got fouled?
I like most gins (exception is Tanqueray No. 10).
