Pour this over a fat cube of ice, top with good tonic, and the whole glass goes citrus-bright in a way most gins only wish they could. Cubical Botanic Ultra Premium is the smooth, grown-up one. Juniper's there doing its job, but the headline is sunshine citrus and a velvet texture that makes 45% feel like nothing. It's the bottle you reach for when you want a G&T that actually tastes like something, or a martini sharp enough to reset your whole evening.
First sniff is all citrus: Mediterranean lemon, sweet orange, and a wild card called Buddha's Hand (a knobbly citron that smells like the best lemon zest you've ever had), with orange blossom floating over the top. Sip it and the texture is the surprise. Genuinely velvety, not hot. Zesty citrus leads, then mint and coriander cool it down, and it lands on a crisp finish with a little exotic spice and a flash of wild berry. Smart, clean, never soapy.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Here's the fun bit. This is a Spanish gin made in a sherry house. Williams & Humbert in Jerez, in Spain's sun-baked south, quadruple-distil it the old English way in copper stills that are over a century old, using English grain spirit and fourteen hand-picked botanicals. Then it rests in their Jerez cellars before bottling. So you get English distilling tradition, Spanish citrus and sunshine, and a bodega that's been doing this for generations. That's where the silk and the citrus come from.
