Bottled at 42.0% ABV, NB Gin has clear juniper and coriander seed on the nose with a touch of eucalyptol from the cardamom. To taste, a deep resinous gin emerges as juniper gives way to coriander seed, cassia and a touch of citrus with a warming peppery bite. All in all it is a Classic Dry Gin. The beautiful and unique venue is also available to hire for private parties, special occasions, elegant hen or stag parties, meetings, networking or a long overdue 'get together'. It can comfortably accommodate up to 20 guests and they would be delighted to create a bespoke event for you including a tour and a gin-tasting gem of an experience. Maximum capacity is 40 people. Guests are welcome to arrange their own food / catering also. These are all longer term problems and with talk of some distilleries even failing to get that far, the fact that we are certain that NB Distillery will encounter them, is because they have made a good quality spirit. Already, to help with increasing demand, Steve and Viv have recently upgraded their equipment and have expanded their premises for the second time in a year to make sure that they’re geared up for more significant production in 2015. Given the countless other gins vying for shelf space and whose contents, stories and entire product scream out for being inimitable - it just doesn’t set us alight.

Viv Muir adds: “NB Gin has been a long time in the making, and thankfully it’s a very good time for us to be entering the market. But the most exciting part is that we have launched it in our home town. The support has been fantastic and there’s been a bit of a buzz about our gin being produced locally, which people really like. We hope that this is just the start. There are no boundaries to our geographical reach, so we look forward to what the future holds for us. It’s been a labour of love to ensure that we never compromise on quality, but a fantastic one.”In many ways given the hundreds of gins on the market, the fact that we are happy saying it’s good enough to not think twice about pouring a double, yet not unique enough to captivate, is a testament to many positives and not just shortcomings. Granted, NB’s creators will not see this article as applauding these positives, it’s their baby after all and undoubtedly, our ambivalence will be irritating to hear.
