Bloom London Dry Gin 75cl
You know that friend who swears gin tastes like a Christmas tree? Hand them this. Bloom is the gentle one. Chamomile, honeysuckle and pomelo do the talking, so instead of a juniper slap you get something soft, slightly sweet and properly floral. Pour it over ice with tonic and a fat strawberry and you've got the easiest yes of the night. We'll have it at your door before the ice melts.
First whiff is a flower garden, not a forest. Honeysuckle brings a honeyed sweetness, chamomile adds that calm, feather-soft floral thing, and the pomelo gives you a pulpy citrus lift that's rounder and less sharp than lemon. The juniper is still there, just polite about it, weaving through underneath so it still drinks like a real London Dry. A pinch of peppery warmth from cubeb berries on the finish keeps it interesting. Smooth, soft, gently sweet. Nothing about it bites.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Bloom comes out of G&J Distillers in Warrington, England, one of the oldest gin houses around. It's the work of Master Distiller Joanne Moore, one of the few women to hold that title in the gin world, who built the recipe back in 2009 because she wanted a gin that didn't lead with juniper. It's triple-distilled from English wheat, then layered with seven botanicals including that signature chamomile, honeysuckle and pomelo trio. Floral by design, not by accident.
