SW4 Gin
sw4gin.com Reviewed by Gin School; distillery has not claimed entry
SW4 is a London dry gin made with 12 botanicals: juniper, coriander seeds, angelica, cinnamon, orange peel, orris powder, nutmeg, savory, cassia, almond, lemon peel and liquorice. The name nods to its home: Thames Distillers in Clapham, London, postcode SW4. GinSchool discovery: orris powder is ground iris root — it fixes and binds the other aromas, the quiet workhorse behind a well-rounded gin.
