Botanical spirits we’re enjoying this month

CRISP AND DRY

GIN NO.3

From Berry Bros & Rudd comes Gin No.3, a blend of juniper, citrus and spice celebrating traditional dry gin. Named the world’s best gin three times as well as winning the Supreme Champion Spirit award, the perfect balance of the three flavours took over two months to perfect and is the product of extensive research by Master Distillers and mixologists. £35 for 700ml; no3gin.com

TASTE OF THE EAST

STRANGER & SONS

Stranger & Sons is the brainchild of three gin-lovers who wanted to put their home country on the distilling map. The result is a spiced Indian gin with an earthy, sweet aftertaste with ingredients grown and picked from the fertile farmlands of Goa and Kerala.

GIVING BACK

CANAÏMA GIN

Canaïma Gin is an ethically-sourced gin that gives back to the local community who helped make it. The small batch spirit is made up of 19 botanicals, ten of which are sourced from the Amazon, to result in a uniquely crafted gin with a sweeter flavour with notes of açai berry, grapefruit, orange and passion fruit. £37.50 for 70cl; canaimagin.com
