[Ad- gifted experience] Recently, I was invited along to a master class featuring Haycock’s No 9 gin, a new ‘spiced gin’ which is quite different to any other gin that I have ever had. Described as a lemon sorbet for adults, this gin has lots of lemon and sweet notes, despite not actually having any lemon in it. I am not the biggest fan of spiced spirits, but Haycock’s No 9 doesn’t actually taste like a spiced gin and instead is just smooth and lemon-y, tasting quite like a dessert.
Dann and I went along to this master class, looking to learn all about the new Haycock’s No 9 gin and taste some of the drinks that it is used in. The creator of this gin described it as not a gin but instead something different and unique, made with coriander seeds which give off a lemon flavor without having to add any lemon. He spoke about flavored syrups and mixing drinks, after we had consumed some small appraisers which were really, really yummy. My favorite was this mac n cheese that was simply delicious, but onto the cocktails.
