Still G.i.n. By Dre and Snoop Dry Gin

STILL G.I.N. arrives with two music legends on the label, Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg, and a bottle that nods hard to hip-hop culture. The celebrity billing could be a distraction, but the liquid is made with care: a premium dry gin built on a finely balanced botanical selection. Juniper, citrus peel, coriander and a few undisclosed components give it a modern, urban character, and the distillation is run for clarity, purity and aromatic depth.

The nose is fresh, juniper and lemon over subtle herbs and floral hints. The palate is clear and harmonious, juniper leading with citrus freshness, a slightly peppery spice and a touch of lavender. The finish is dry, clean and pleasantly spiced. Pour it into a sharp G&T with a grapefruit twist, or put it to work in a Gin Basil Smash or a Dry Martini.
