Hayman’s Small Gin

This is an inspirational new idea.  The dinky little 200ml bottle contains a full strength gin (43%) proof) BUT they have increased the intensity of flavour of the botanicals so much that just a 5ml thimbleful (a thimble is included with the bottle) gives you a drink with all the flavour of a classic G&T but just 0.2% units of alcohol.  It really works too – the slight ethanol kick sidles up against the taste buds with reassuring normality while the botanicals do their work and deliver a perfect and delicious drink.  It’s very clever and beautifully executed – the bottle, thimble (and packaging) are items of joy – and good value: the tiny bottle offers 40 servings.
