Highclere Castle Gin

Tom 4/15/24

This is routinely a GREAT drink with tonic & lime!!! Actually has a chance to push Bombay Sapphire out of my number 1!!!

Dingle Original Gin

Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin

please limit your purchase to one bottle so there will be enough for us

best gin bar none

The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin

I have never been much of a gin fan, but this was wonderful!

Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin

A truly DELIGHTFUL gin!!!

This gin is #10 on your list, but close to #1 for me. A truly different taste experience!!!

Empress 1908 Indigo Gin

It's gin, but in a good way :-)

Lovely floral notes. Color changes if you add acids (lime wedge, for instance). Pairs extremely well with Elderflower Tonic for a superbly summery take on the G&T, even in winter.

Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut 12th Edition Schwarzwald Dry Gin

Really enjoyed this one.

The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin

My wife is an Outlander Fan. We have a bottle signed by "Jaimie". Great Gin that we cannot do without. Matches best with Fever Tree Elder Flower Tonic.

The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin

Two bought, two loved

Bought one and loved it. Sent one to a friend for Christmas. He sent a photo of a mostly empty bottle two weeks later. Said it’s his new favorite.

Aviation Old Tom Gin

Never thought I would find one I liked more than the famous English brand. Well done.

Highclere Castle Gin

KPCharlie 10/24/23

Downton would be so proud!

Ok, tried a lot of Gins over the years, but this one is my new favorite. Just the right level of floral, and it makes the smoothest G&Ts ever. Preferring it now over Hendricks. I'll continue to buy it.

Cotswolds Dry Gin

The perfect sipping Gin

This is a delicious Gin, perfect for sipping (truly dry, no spicing)

Freeland Spirits Gin

Really bold and complex flavor but not overpowering. Definitely in my top 5 favorites.

Sipsmith London Dry Gin

Classic taste. Similar to Tanqueray taste but stronger. First tasted it in UK. Caskers may be one of the few sources in US.

Kyrö Gin

This is the only gin I’ve ever liked, and I like it a lot! I tried it in Finland this past March and was so happy to find that I can get it here in the states at a pretty good price. I wish they also had Kyrö Pink Gin. Both are excellent!

The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin

I just wish I could run to my local liquor store and purchase it without the shipping fees!I would buy it more often.

Gray Whale Gin

Don’t know how many I tried (and enjoyed), but this is my absolute favorite Gin! Read the story and get lost in the flavors and smoothness of this masterpiece of art. Whether straight or in cocktails, for me this is it!

The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin

The minute I opened the bottle, it was appealing to my nose. I just kept smelling it. I’m addicted to the aromatics of this gin.
I could smell citrus, vanilla & almond. I love that combination.

I tried it straight. To me, it was sweet. Is that the intention? If so, perfect!
I tasted Apple immediately. On my tongue, I could taste rhubarb with a hint of berry.

It tastes great on its own, but then I mixed it with Lemonade (my go to summer drink) and it was phenomenal. I will be buying more of this. It will be the staple gin in my home now. Thanks again, Sassenach Spirits, for another wonderful product!

The Sassenach Wild Scottish Gin

Smooth and especially enjoyable on the rocks or very chilled. My new summer gin

Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut 12th Edition Schwarzwald Dry Gin

This is the best of the best monkey's 47!

Distillers cut is absolutely the best tasting with the additional herb for this year's release, better than last year, has a touch of sweetness to it! Packaged very well with fast delivery!

Highclere Castle Gin

This is my special occasion drink...gin & tonic with lime. A truly excellent gin, with distinctly different taste!!!

Brooklyn Small Batch Gin

Was not a gin drinker

As gin goes this is top shelf

Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin

In total ordered 9 different gin variety from Caskers. This is my #1 choice. Original, subtle, tons of flavor, amazing.

Silent Pool Gin

Regular good jin, nothing special about the flavor. The bottle and the glass cork are exquisite. With this, almost like "Murano" presentation you should really expect something better.

Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger Handcrafted Gin

The taste is amazing, something you would never expect and tried before, but the novelty note is so powerful - it begs to dilute it a bit with the regular concoction - like a "Bombay Sapphire". I am immensely enjoyed it.

Cotswolds Old Tom Gin

Never tasted anything this good!

Koval Barreled Gin

I use this in an Old Fashioned and it’s beautiful. Lighter so cut back a bit on sweetener but I prefer it on those days you don’t want something as intense. Will definitely buy again.

No.3 London Dry Gin

Not for this Gin and Tonic drinker

My opinion is that these is more of a martini Gin than a Gin and Tonic gin as it is somewhat booze forward. It is a tasty gin and I love the bottle but I am a Gin and Tonic drinker and was a little disappointed with this gin as a top shelf Gin.

Black Button Citrus Forward Gin

One of the best Gins I have ever tasted. I love the citrus flavor!

Awayuki Strawberry Flavored Japanese Gin

Taste great on the rocks by itself. Mixes well with Fever-tree tonic waters flavors like Mediterranean and sparkling lemonade. Very refreshing and light.

Empress 1908 Indigo Gin

you pay for the color

too expensive for how it tastes

Empress 1908 Indigo Gin

A tremendously refreshing taste!!!

Bought on a lark (the color mostly) and gave been very pleased with taste and drinkability

Gothic Gin

GinLoverVegas 9/13/22

Smooth, savory, and very refreshing

This gin has a very different profile. It has some juniper for sure, but there's a lot more going on. If I didn't know there was orange peel I'd at least have called it citrus-y. The other botanicals, especially the eucalyptus, let it adapt to a wide range of uses (think of all your favorite berries/fruits combos, or even mixed with muddled plants like cucumber and fresh mint leaves). Even with all that complexity it still makes an excellent Gin and Tonic and a wonderful Gin Martini!

Bobby's Schiedam Dry Gin

Seattle Supertonics 4/10/22

For years, I've been a one-gin imbiber. A gift of Bobby's Schiedam Gin changed that forever. Upon first whiff, the mere aroma of Bobby's transported me on an olfactory memory journey. I thought I smelled something like citrus and roses, only later finding out the notes were lemongrass and rosehips. The first sip, as it danced down my palette, was just as trasportative, opening up my imagination for a trip around the world. Since that first gift, Bobby's has been my consistent armchair travel companion. I really can't recommend any other gin.

Cotswolds Dry Gin

Great gin, good for gifting.

Suntory Roku Gin

Harahorn Gin

This is a gin that Clearly has all the hallmarks of a great Gin: Juniper, citrus, complexity, but add to that, it has its own uniqueness. Yes, you get wifts of blueberry and rhubarb and even the sweet bit of kelp. It’s delicious on its own. But here’s the issue- at the price point it makes a good G&T but not a great G&T. As much as I love the old standby of G&T, I have less expensive options that are at least as good. I’ll be trying it in a gin daisy and even a martini. I’d be appreciative if anyone can suggest a drink in which the uniqueness of this outstanding gin will shine through and complement. If necessary, I guess I’ll be “forced” to drink it neat.

Ginny's Gin

I originally received a bottle of Ginny's Gin as a gift, and was blown away by the flavors of the Gin! I had to order a full case! I saw on the web site that her husband runs a very successful Winery and Ginny uses some grape husks for making her Gin. My wife and I LOVE IT!! Thank You!

Citadelle Gin

A delightful gin with a light and flowery aroma. Great straight up or on a cocktail.

Beefeater London Dry Gin 24

A very smooth gin with a lighter aroma and taste. Perfect for cocktails where a stronger gin would overpower other ingredients.

Harahorn Gin

Harahorn has become one of my favourite gins as of late. It has a complex flavour - very heavy on the juniper with some very distinct notes of blueberry. Very subtle sea kelp notes can be distinguished too. Highly recommend.

Waterloo No. 9 Gin

This is the only gin we will drink. We have also “ruined” our friends for life, on other brands. Fresh & clean, w/o the herby botanicals of most gin. We even substitute for vodka in mixed drinks. Try it first, thank us later. When nothing but the best will do. You won’t regret it!

Elephant London Dry Gin

A very clean-tasting London Gin, perfect in a gin and tonic garnished with a lime slice.

Plymouth Gin Original

Plymouth is the classic gin for your Martini! I was turned onto it about ten years ago after a review in the paper and it became my go to gin. Clean, crisp, and balanced. It's a workhorse of a gin. Good in any gin-based cocktail and with a splash of tonic. Pre-pandemic and early pandemic I could always find it at my ABC liquor store, then the supply dried up. Thank you Caskers for shipping me some! I am now officially hoarding it for the holidays!

No.3 London Dry Gin

I agree with the other reviewer. It is a bracing, assertive, and clean London Dry. Excellent in Martinis and the Vesper. I was introduced to it at Duke's bar in London which Ian Fleming frequented. They use it in their Vesper cocktails and rinse the glass with vermouth then toss it out before making their martinis with this gin. At its price point it is a bit of special gin for me, but well worth the price. I stock up on when I see it.

Principe De Los Apostoles Mate Gin

christine 11/18/21

The flavors in this gin are very unigue and this one is one of my favorite gins.

Freeland Spirits Gin

Beautiful bottle - makes great gift

After visiting Freeland Spirits in OR, we were in love with the cocktails they made. The bottles were beautiful but we couldn't fly back with it. Ordered here and arrived no problem. Definitely recommend!

Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin (375mL)

Doktor Z 10/14/21

A truly wonderful gin. One of my favorites. Just the right amount of herbal touch with well balanced flavor. The only other gin I like as much is East London #1. This one is worth the cost.

Rabbit Hole Bespoke Gin

Ascolano 10/11/21

Tried it at the source and have to have more

We sampled this at a recent tour of the Rabbit Hole distillery in Louisville. Sure, their bourbons are great, but it was this gin that really stuck with us. Barrel-aged gin is relatively rare and it's a welcome change from heavy juniper gins. The golden color is beautiful. We enjoy sipping it, mixing it and using it like you would vermouth in a martini. A wonderful variety.

Etsu Japanese Gin

Don’t quarrel with the WSJ

Very exotic. Asian citrus dominates. Not common - which is a good thing.
