Bartenders who use Plymouth as their house pour would also probably come to like Jensen Bermondsey Gin in that same role. Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. The gin also has a delicate floral and citrus note that adds an extra layer of complexity to its flavour profile.

You will then be invited to join your guide at the tasting table, where you will dive into the history of gin and its origins, as well as the history of the distillery itself. It's made with a recipe taken from a 1840s distillers notebook, and features a hefty helping of botanicals, which has resulted in the Old Tom flavour profile without the Old Tom sweetener. Crafted in small batches using traditional botanicals, Jensen's pays homage to gin as it was meant to be. It was while working in Tokyo in 2000 that Christian realised the supply of good-quality gin was decreasing. My wife and I (a non-gin drinker) spent a few hours at Jensen's on a Saturday afternoon in the company of the highly informative and amusing Charlie.Founded on forgotten recipes and traditional botanicals, Bermondsey Distillery started life as the personal project of gin enthusiast Christian Jensen.

Greeted with a gin and tonic on arrival, you’ll follow the fascinating story of the Jensen’s brand, and the time-honoured processes and recipes that make their small-batch gins so special.Located between the Maltby Street and Spa Terminus food markets, the distillery is open on Saturdays for tastings and long drinks.
