6 O’clock Brunel Export Strength Gin

6 O’clock Brunel Gin is the “export strength” expression of the award-winning 6 O’clock London Dry Gin, bottled at a robust 50% ABV. It is named in honour of the great British engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and is “exquisitely engineered” for a more complex and bolder flavour profile. To achieve this, the distillers have added extra juniper and introduced six new botanicals to the original recipe: green cardamom, nutmeg, cumin, cassia bark, cubeb pepper, and lemon.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Aromatic and complex, with a strong juniper presence alongside bright citrus notes of orange and lemon, and warm, earthy spices like cardamom, nutmeg, and cumin.
• Palate: Bold and rich with an initial sweetness that gives way to a pronounced juniper backbone. The spiciness of cassia bark, cubeb pepper, and cardamom is well-integrated with zesty citrus, creating depth and warmth. Subtle earthy and herbal nuances add further complexity.
• Finish: Long and warming, with lingering spice notes and a refreshing citrus zest. The finish is dry with a clean juniper aftertaste and hints of cinnamon-like warmth.

Awards and Recognition:

• Silver at the International Spirits Challenge (2018).
• Silver at the Taste of the West Awards (2018, 2020).
• Silver at the Gin Masters (2017).

Overall Impression: 6 O’clock Brunel Gin is a sophisticated and powerful gin that appeals to those who appreciate a more robust and spicier flavour profile than the classic London Dry style. The increased ABV amplifies the botanical intensity, making it a versatile choice for crafting bold cocktails that can stand up to its character. The additional botanicals add layers of complexity, resulting in a well-balanced and memorable gin that lives up to its “exquisitely engineered” description.
