St. Giles Norfolk Gin

Product Information

Of Four Pillars Olive Leaf she said: “Velvet‐like texture, with olive‐ oil‐like notes. This would be brilliant in a Dirty Martini. Brilliant Gin. Juniper lingers on the finish.” And of the Four Pillars Spiced Negroni, she said: “The palate brings warming spice, some pepper. A touch of orange, coriander, very complex flavour profile. Once again, offering a good point of difference in the gin category, while still remaining ‘gin’.” Twenty‐eight Golds were also given out, alongside 23 Silver medals.

Muff Gin was worthy of the top accolade, described as “like sipping on a Negroni” with a “good balance of flavours – orange, bitter and spice with cherry notes”. This year’s contest was held at private members club Home House in London, and will be the first of two gin tastings, with the second to be held in November. Tempus Two Shiraz Gin was praised by Eichler for being: “Wonderfully jammy on the nose, stone fruit, cherry and grape, juicy and bright with delicious plumminess and resinous juniper, heady and moorish with a glorious drying finish”. Peraz Terrado said of the flight: “I really enjoyed that, there was a good standard. A lot more diverse use of botanicals within the flight, some interesting ones that stood out. All were fairly approachable.”Points of interest include the church of St Giles in the Fields, Seven Dials, the Phoenix Garden, and St Giles Circus. Pal Gleed, director general of The Gin Guild, said the growth “reflects the quality, variety and reputation of British gin. These latest figures show the potential for gin sales to continue to grow around the world as the spirit gains market share from other drinks that have traditionally dominated in some countries.” Another panel was chaired by Bryan Rodriguez‐Curtis, wine and spirits buyer at Harvey Nichols, who was joined by: Ruchira Neotia, partner at Collectivino; Alan Uresti, head of mixology at Annabel’s; and Dan Greifer, bar manager at The Proofing Room at Milroy’s of Spitalfields.

Antony Moss MW led a panel that included: Angelo Sparvoli, head bartender, St James Bar; and Graham McAteer, spirit partnerships lead at Craft Gin Club.From the 1830s to the 1870s plans were developed to demolish the slum as part of London wide clearances for improved transport routes, sanitation and the expansion of the railways. New Oxford Street was driven through the slum to join the areas of Oxford Street and Holborn. This had the effect of pushing the slum further south, into the Seven Dials, which fell into further decline. [11] The unchanging character of the area, failing investment schemes and inability to sell new properties ensured that plans for wholesale clearance were stymied until the end of the century. [12] [13] Local governance [ edit ] Civil parish of St Giles and the closely associated parish of Bloomsbury, 1870 Wards of the Metropolitan Borough of Holborn, 1952. St Giles (including most of Lincoln's Inn) was sub-divided but retained its identity. St. Giles Distillery is a proudly independent Norfolk-based producer, and home to the multi award winning spirits – St. Giles Gin (Signature), St. Giles Raspberry, Rhubarb & Ginger Gin, St. Giles Mandarin & Passion Fruit Gin and St. Giles Divers’ Edition Gin (Naval Strength). Set in St Giles, the etching shows a boy, Nero, is being assisted by other boys torturing a dog by inserting an arrow into its rectum. An initialled badge on the shoulder of his light-hued and ragged coat shows him to be a pupil of the charity school of the parish of St Giles. A more tender-hearted boy, perhaps the dog's owner, [54] pleads with Nero to stop tormenting the frightened animal, even offering food in an attempt to appease him. [55] Modern governance [ edit ] St Giles has no formally defined boundaries – those utilised here form a rough triangle: New Oxford Street to the north, Shaftesbury Avenue to the south-east and Charing Cross Road to the west. St Giles is an area in the West End of London in the London Borough of Camden. It gets its name from the parish church of St Giles in the Fields. The combined parishes of St Giles in the Fields and St George Bloomsbury (which was carved out of the former) were administered jointly for many centuries; leading to the conflation of the two, with much or all of St Giles usually taken to be a part of Bloomsbury.

St Giles is split between the electoral wards of Bloomsbury and Holborn and Covent Garden in the London Borough of Camden. With some sections of Holborn and Bloomsbury it forms part of the Midtown business improvement district. It is within the Holborn and St Pancras Parliament constituency and the Barnet and Camden London Assembly constituency. The London Nº1 Sherry Cask scored highly with the judges for bring “light, fresh and fruity with a good balance of complexity”. Tolmanns Barrel Aged Gin also took home a Master, described as: “Beautifully integrated – soft spice cake, creamy toffee, fruits and raw sugars without becoming sweet.” Cambridge Circus – after Prince George, 2nd Duke of Cambridge, who formally opened the new development of Charing Cross Road in 1887 [22] [23]Two Golds were also dished out to Downpour Sloe & Bramble Gin, enjoyed for its “ginger, savoury notes”, and Hernö Sloe Gin, praised for its hints of “marzipan and cherries”. Jones particularly liked Master medallist, Hapusa Himalayan Dry Gin: “Curry leaf and spice, intriguing, smooth and yet with plenty of classic gin character, well‐integrated alcohol. Bright and fresh.” Kiely enjoyed the two Masters from Australia’s Four Pillars. Swedish distiller Hernö also scored three more Golds for its Hernö Gin, Hernö Old Tom Gin and Hernö Pink Btl Gin. Four Silvers concluded the flight. Among the Gold medallists were the “elegant and earthy” Whitley Neill Distiller’s Cut, the “salty and savoury” Edinburgh Gin Seaside, the “minty and herbal” AmberChes Botanical Gin, the “complex and interesting” København Klassisk Gin”, and Jawbox Export Strength Gin, described as “very smooth for a 47%‐ABV gin”.
