Westward Farm Wild Wingletang Cornish Gin 70cl Reviews

5 Rating 4 Reviews

Surely up for an award for the funniest named gin of all time, Wingletang Gin is named after the gorse that is found on the Wingletang Downs on St. Agnes. Westward Farms aim here is to capture the essence of the gorse, its aroma on a sunny day strolling over the Downs. This means they purportedly pick the gorse on sunny spring mornings before distilling them in a vacuum at low temperatures so as not to damage the flavours. When combined with the spiciness of the other botanicals, the nutty flavours of the gorse compliment beautifully.

“We first had this Gin on the Isles of Scilly, and wondered if it would be the same when we ordered it to drink at home. And yes, it is just as good!”

“I cannot write enough superlatives to write about Westward Farm gins. I’m just an everyday guy who works in a warehouse on nights so my leisure time is precious to me. For the last year and half I have been buying gin on line after sampling Nordes Gallian Celtic gin in a sleepy seaside resort bar in San Carla Spain. I tasted my first Westward Farm gin in a small friendly bar in my local village. After my second visit to the bar as my first was only spoilt when I tried an aniseed gin . Never again . My first glass of Westward farm was their camomile gin. First the barmen/partner gave me a neat taster. It was smooth and after gin had vanished you could taste camomile. When I tried the drink with ice and juniper berries and a slice of lemon the magic happened. After that the waxed sealed lids were my only clue as the name had eluded me at the bar. Since that time which was three weeks ago I have bought three rose and geranium bottles. One of which is ear marked for a gin party. The gin itself is fab, in fact the only time I could taste or smell geranium was when I tried the gin neat. My tip is to try a gin with flat tonic water. Wingletang was something very special a dry taste like a syrupy tonic but nota thick syrup and the numbing of the end of my tongue and front teeth was the answer to the taste neat and with tonic. The honey and orange neat you taste the sweetness of honey then you have a taste of burnt orange . When mixed with tonic this is accentuated and that subtle orange rises then just vanishes. The gin taste comes between the honey and orange. To me not to taste the alcohol not because of the amount of tonic you’ve added is in my eyes the Nivarna of gin. Believe me Westward farm gin have the water of immortality flowing in their land. P.S I drink responsibly I have no connection with Westward Farm in any way. All I will say is you won’t be disappointed.”
