Eichler enjoyed Master winner Mallard Point London Dry Gin, noting its “lovely sweet citrus and a hint of warming cardamom on the nose, which carries through to the palate, lovely bright citrus and resinous juniper, and an aromatic spice on the finish”. The competition concluded with the Gin Liqueurs flight, with two Masters awarded to Ian Macleod Distillers’ Edinburgh Gin brand. Rodriguez‐Curtis particularly enjoyed Edinburgh Gin Elderflower Liqueur: “Good light elderflower nose, light freshness on the nose. The palate has a wonderful sweetness but also very fresh and vibrant citrus note that balances the alcohol perfectly. The elderflower is fresh and lovely and I can see this being enjoyed with Prosecco.” Shaftesbury Avenue – after Anthony Ashley Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury, Victorian politician and philanthropist [43] [44] The parish formed part of the Ossulstone hundred of Middlesex. [16] The parish of St George Bloomsbury was split off in 1731, but the parishes were combined for civil purposes in 1774 and used for the administration of the Poor Law after the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834.

[17] Upon the creation of the Metropolitan Board of Works in 1855 the combined parishes became the St Giles District [16] and were transferred to the County of London in 1889.

Reformer Henry Mayhew described the slum in 1860 in A Visit to the Rookery of St Giles and its Neighbourhood: Scottish brand Lind & Lime Gin was praised by Gorn, who noted: “Green kaffir lime leaves and citrus oil on the nose intertwined with some pine and juniper. The palate is focused, and it replicates the nose with a touch of richness giving it extra depth. Very cleverly composed.” Up next was the Cask‐Aged category and the Master standard continued, with five medals awarded. Peddlers Barrel Aged Gin took home a Master for its “good balance of flavours, spice and slight menthol finish, and very good balance for its high ABV”. Fellow Master medallist Four Pillars Whiskey Barrel Gin #1 was enjoyed for its hints of “rich Sherry, coffee cake and walnuts” and “soft vanilla notes”. Two Golds were also awarded to Tanglin Triple Tangerine, lauded for its “tangerine‐ heavy nose and pine freshness” and Edinburgh Gin Raspberry Liqueur, with its “light and delicate red berry nose and palate”. Uresti said of the round: “There were very good examples of extracting flavour and achieving good flavours and not resulting to synthetic flavours.”

Home House Gin was lauded by Chou for its “woody, citrus peel, spicy note on the nose, light on the palate, crispy texture, a sweet taste on the finish and good length.” Eichler was also enamoured by Heaven & Hell London Dry Gin Kocbek. It offered “lovely herbaceous floral notes on the nose, aromatic spice and citrus on the palate with a punch of spice on the finish, lovely mouthfeel and smooth for the ABV”, she said.

Two Golds were also dished out to Downpour Sloe & Bramble Gin, enjoyed for its “ginger, savoury notes”, and Hernö Sloe Gin, praised for its hints of “marzipan and cherries”. Smith added: “It’s surprising how many gins don’t taste like the flavours they propose; however gins that really do work and are highly awarded balance their designated flavour with gin character well.” AmberChes Christmas Gin also took home a Master medal, enjoyed for its notes of “winter spice, candy, cinnamon, cherry cubes. Some cloves. Soft, integrated warming alcohol. A little spice, with clove on the finish which is a little drying but very well made”, Kennard said.One of the biggest subcategories in the competition is flavoured gin, where judges found a complexity of flavours. Twenty‐one Gold medallists and 33 Silvers were awarded in this round.

In 2009, Transport for London began a major reconstruction of large parts of the station. Much of the St Giles area alongside St Giles High Street has been cleared to make way for the new development including Crossrail expansion. [57] The Astoria theatre on Charing Cross Road has been demolished and the original Central line entrances will also go. [57] Business [ edit ]Tempus Two Shiraz Gin was praised by Eichler for being: “Wonderfully jammy on the nose, stone fruit, cherry and grape, juicy and bright with delicious plumminess and resinous juniper, heady and moorish with a glorious drying finish”. The Gold medallists were the “light and pleasantly warming” Seventy One Gin,”, and Hernö Juniper Cask Gin, enjoyed for its “slightly toasted clove and allspice. After the flight, Jones said: “As ever, this category runs the whole gamut from modest citrus‐led simplicity to overt characterful coloured sweetness – with everything in between. Quality in general is reliable in terms of the base spirit, but we are still seeing lots of entries without adequate ‘gin’ character, or overburdened by sugar without the flavour concentration or complexity to balance it.”
