First Impressions
Berkshire Botanical Rhubarb & Raspberry takes their Double Gold-winning Dry Gin and gently infuses it with rhubarb and raspberry. Inspired by the flora and fauna on the Yattendon Estate in Berkshire, it achieves fresh, fruity elegance without losing its gin identity.
Tasting
The nose is fresh and inviting with tart rhubarb and sweet raspberry alongside subtle juniper and citrus. On the palate, smooth and vibrant — tangy rhubarb balanced by juicy raspberry sweetness, piney juniper maintaining gin character. The finish is long and clean with fruit lingering pleasantly.
The Bottom Line
Berkshire Botanical Rhubarb & Raspberry earns a 7 for fruit gin elegance from a distillery that knows what it is doing. The Double Gold-winning Dry Gin base gives it proper juniper backbone, and the rhubarb-raspberry combination avoids excessive sweetness. Splendid with tonic or Prosecco.
