Two James
Old Cockney Barrel Reserve Gin
(0.75l,
45.5%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
This Gin is bees and honey (Cockney for money)
Two James, founded in 2012, is the first legal distillery in Detroit since Prohibition. You read that right, Detroit was (legal) distillery-free since 1933, for nearly 80 years! But then came David Landrum, who thought his home city and his favorite city in the world, the great city of Detroit, deserves some nice handcrafted, locally-made, community-building Spirits.
Two James is all about supporting everything local and sticking together. So when the corona pandemic hit, the distillery pivoted to produce hand sanitizers with resources they had at hand. They were distributed free of charge to hospitals, first responders, and other institutions, vital to the community.
But back to making more delicious liquids - Two James Old Cockney Barrel Reserve Gin is a work of art. Made from the same botanicals as the traditional Old cockney (the goodies include juniper, of course, along with the orange peel, coriander, orris root, angelica root, and many more), this Gin is then finished for just under six months in new, charred American oak barrels. Aging gives this already complex-flavored Gin an extra depth. The deep floral notes give space to the bright vanilla and nutmeg, with just a hint of tannin to round up the flavors. Another winner from Two James distillery.

London Dry Gin is not always from London. Gin does not have the same geographical restrictions as Spirits such as Cognac, Scotch, or Tequila. Only a tiny handful of London Dry Gins are actually made in the city.
How much Tonic is in a Gin & Tonic? The ideal proportions for a perfect Gin & Tonic is one part Gin and two parts Tonic.
Gin gets its dominant flavour from juniper berries. As with many other spirits, Gin was originally intended to be used as medicine. Yeah right!
As producers try to develop new styles and flavors of Gin, to push the category and find a niche, the need for trying new methods of extracting flavors, as well as using more unusual botanicals, has grown.
One such way is the vacuum distillation method, when the redistillation of botanicals takes place in a vacuum.

As with many other Spirits, Gin was originally intended to be used as a medicine—to battle malaria.
While juniper-heavy Gin is perfect for your daily G&T, it is also complemented extremely well by tea flavours such as Earl Grey. Try steeping Earl Grey tea bags in Gin for an hour before mixing it with lemon juice and soda for a refreshing tipple. This one gets you additional kudos, so let’s keep it between us.
