The Boatyard Distillery Boatyard Double Gin
Tasting notes from Ginned!: The piney freshness of juniper leads, thanks to the unique double distillation process used at the Boatyard Distillery. Light and elegant on the palate, floral notes are balanced by the sweetness of liquorice root, with a hint of vanilla developing on the finish.
My notes: There is a light juniper taste, but it's not overwhelming. Hint of citrus and smooth mellow finish. Not bad, although we probably wouldn't buy it again. Matt did not care for this one.
Merchant's Heart Tonic Water with a hint of Pink Peppercorn
This tonic was lightly sweet, without the bitterness that comes with many tonics. There was the slightest hint of the peppercorn flavor in the after taste. I really liked this, and would buy it regularly. Matt said it's okay.
Merchant's Heart Tonic Water with a hint of Floral Aromatics
This tonic had a heavy floral flavor. It made the gin taste a bit more like alcohol, with flowers. But I did like it, and would buy it again to switch things up sometimes.
Indie Bay Quinoa Pretzel Bites, Cracked Pepper
The Indie Bay snacks are meant to be more wholesome versions of classic snacks.
These were very dry. The pepper flavor was great, but the dryness sort of makes it taste like sawdust. I do like a nice low calorie nibble, but I wouldn't eat these again.
Bailey's Chocolate Mini Delights
This is my kind of chocolate. They were very smooth, and didn't have a strong alcohol flavor. They were rich, so just a few satisfy a craving. A lovely indulgence.
Britvic Tomato Juice Cocktail
Neither Matt nor I are fans of tomato juice, but for some reason we decided to try this anyway.
Well, we tried it. And we still don't do tomato juice. I can't believe we wasted the gin, and if we receive more tomato juice in a future box, we will let someone else try it for us.
So our May subscription box was a mixed bag, but I was still pleased overall for the month.
