Black Tomato Gin 70cl

Savoury gin people, this one’s for you. Black Tomato Gin is an English gin with a subtle tomato lift that reads more garden-fresh than “bloody mary”, and it makes classic serves taste instantly more interesting.

• Nose: Clean juniper, bright citrus peel, and a faint vine-tomato freshness that keeps pulling you back in.
• Taste: Crisp and savoury at the same time, with classic gin botanicals up front and a gentle tomato note that adds depth (think: Mediterranean herb vibes, not soup).
• Finish: Dry, lightly peppery, and refreshing, with that savoury edge lingering just long enough to make you take another sip.

Best way to drink it: build a killer G&T with plenty of ice, a clean tonic, and a basil leaf or a slice of cucumber. It’s also a sneaky-good Negroni gin when you want more savoury backbone.

If your usual is Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire and you want something that still tastes like “gin”, just with more personality, start here. It’s an easy step into the more adventurous, contemporary gin world without feeling like you’ve wandered into a perfume counter.

Why it works at home: that tomato-and-juniper combo adds built-in complexity, so your cocktails taste more “finished” even when you’re keeping it simple. One good bottle, a decent tonic, and you’re suddenly the friend who makes the best G&Ts.

Expect a style that’s crisp and juniper-led, but with an extra savoury layer that plays beautifully with herbs, citrus, and anything you’d put on a cheeseboard. Keep it in your rotation for patio pours, salty snacks, and “one more round” nights.

Fun Fact: That tomato note isn’t there to be gimmicky, it’s there to add savoury depth, the same way a pinch of salt makes citrus pop in a great cocktail.
