Brockmans Gin Intensely Smooth Premium 40%

Brockmans takes a different approach than classic London Dry Gins: instead of juniper dominance, dark berries take center stage — a style that helped shape the category in the 2000s.

The recipe combines over 20 botanicals, including blueberries, blackberries, and blackcurrants at its heart, complemented by orange peel, angelica root, and coriander. The name "Intensely Smooth" is no empty promise: 40% ABV with a soft, rounded mouthfeel and no harsh edges.

On the nose, fruity and sweet with a distinct berry note, followed by citrus and a slightly earthy, herbal undertone. On the palate, blackberry emerges, then orange, finishing with a mild coriander accent. Not a harsh, bitter gin—rather, an entry point with depth.

Recommendation: Neat over large ice or as a G&T with a neutral tonic and fresh berries as a garnish. It also works well in a Gin Sour with lemon juice and egg white – the fruitiness balances the acidity nicely.
