The Gin Martini Case

This is a classic, juniper-led gin made exclusively for the Wine Society by master distiller Charles Maxwell to our own bespoke recipe. The botanicals include organic coriander, angelica and orris which add layers of spice and complexity to this superb counter-top gin.

Dry and floral, the most distinctive of all vermouths and based on local herbs and flowers for its distinctive, elegant style. Drink chilled on its own with a twist of lemon, or use as an essential ingredient for a dry Martini. Vermouth is an aromatised wine which is flavoured mainly by infusion of the wormwood flower. It`s seeing a revival in fortunes as craft producers embrace its complex charms, but for us it never went out of fashion! This is one of our bestselling spirits and Dolin, one of our oldest continuous suppliers, really do make it better than anyone. Chambéry is probably the most distinctive of all vermouths. Drink as part of that Martini, or with tonic or soda to make a delightful aperitif. Garnish with citrus, peels and fresh herbs to take it to the next level.

Halkidiki olives are celebrated in Greece for their lovely buttery texture, aroma and umami flavour. A deliciously moreish snack, an enhancement to many a Mediterranean dish and a wonderful component of a sophisticated Martini.
