Bull Dog Gin

Don’t let the name of this gin fool you. Even though they tried to make it look tough with its studded collar and grayish black bottle, it is more like a lamb in wolf’s (dog’s) clothing. I wasn’t scared a bit. My first indication of this bad boy façade was apparent when I held the bottle up to the light, and noted a slight hint of purple to the glass. I looked it straight in the eye and showed no fear as I twisted off the top. “Not so tough after all” I said to myself while pouring the gin into my glass, I also noted how crystal clear this liquid was. I gave the glass a swirl and a tilt to help create some very impressive legs. The two initial aromas were citrus and juniper that was soon followed by a hint of lavender during the tasting. The gin was smooth and silky with a warm sensation. This gentle dog nibbles more than bites during its finish which was short and warm with a hint of floral.

This product was released in 2006 and retails around $28 for a 750mL bottle.
