Silent Pool Gin review: Classic London dry gin with botanicals to spare, eager for a date with your favorite tonic. GandT martini gin cocktails
The spring season, with its fresh vegetation and new growth, has always seemed like the most appropriate time of year for the spirit of gin, likewise defined by fresh, botanical-driven flavors. And indeed, I currently seem to find my inbox running over with gin-related press releases and pitches, like no particular stretch I can remember in recent memory.
but that was only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the new gins I find lined up for tasting in the immediate future. Therefore, allow me to declare the month of March to be Gin Month here atKicking things off, we have Silent Pool Gin, a U.K. brand still relatively new to U.S. shelves.
Silent Pool is distilled in the Surrey Hills on the Albury Estate, with a name referencing the spring-fed lake at the foot of the North Downs, near Guildford in Surrey. The bottle is lovely, referencing a local legend of the Silent Pool, concerning a tragedy that said to have befallen a young woodcutter’s daughter in this spot. The recipe, meanwhile, has quite a laundry list of botanicals—24 of them, in fact, largely unnamed.
On the palate, Silent Pool is fairly floral but also more than a little spicy, which again has a very warm kind of quality to it—evocative of something like turmeric, in fact, with its slight earthiness. I’m getting chamomile again and bright lemon, though the citrus here is much more in balance overall than many American consumers may have experienced in recent memory.
At the end of the day, this feels like a bottle calculated for making a classic G&T or martini, where it would provide enough complexity to be engaging, but still remain very easygoing at the same time. It’s a classic London dry gin, albeit with a bigger botanical lineup than most, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
