Rare Eglesbrech Posted July 12, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Thanks Dai, good to hear. Will look forward to trying myself soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britboys Posted July 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I tried it several times aboard Oriana recently. A nice, fresh-tasting gin served with either a small chunk of passion fruit or grapefruit and a few cardamom seeds. Definitely worth a try but be warned they will always offer you an 'upgrade' to the Anderson's 'Perfect Serve', a double with Fever Tree Tonic. It tasted fine with the standard Britvic Tonic :D. For info, the other gin that P&O serve that I really like is The Botanist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that she will give this new Gin a go on Britannia in a few weeks time. Sadly, she's a sucker for the 'Perfect Serve' and is particularly partial to Fever Tree tonic. Sounds as though it's a good job we have a shed load of on board credit to work our way through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted July 12, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Purely in the interests of science I will endevour to get one of each and happily compare them! Glad it is a fresh one, I don't like the heavier, oily gins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidgeofcdf Posted July 12, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Do they still do flights of gin? I'm sure I read previously somebody had a flight in the crows nest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Selbourne Posted July 12, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Do they still do flights of gin? I'm sure I read previously somebody had a flight in the crows nest. I don't believe so. Wine flights in The Glasshouse and beer flights in Brodie's. Both are excellent. The Crows Nest has the great British G&T menu but it's individual servings (singles or doubles). Great choice though. Mrs Selbourne enjoys working her way through them. Hic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balernocalling Posted July 13, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Anyone tried the new Anderson gin as yet? Is it any good and what does it compare to in terms of flavour profile? Hi there, Have not tried it yet but it was distilled at Summerhall in Edinburgh by Pickerings and their gin is great. They have also done some gins for Cunard. Enjoy!!!!

Foodie06 Posted July 13, 2017 #17 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Do they still do flights of gin? I'm sure I read previously somebody had a flight in the crows nest. Yes they do. There were three different flights. We had to try them all just to taste test, then again, and again, and again...yum;p! And good value! £7 odd for 3 singles.

Mrs Selbourne will be very pleased. We are on Britannia very soon and shall look out for them.

All this talk about gin has forced me to the fridge for a small rhubard and ginger gin with fevour tree and it's only a Thursday night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Selbourne Posted July 13, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Further update - Mrs Selbourne informs me that she tried the Andersons Gin on Aurora recently and approved. However, she recommends the Silent Pool Gin accompanied with Fever Tree Elderflower tonic. Interestingly, I've just trawled through the 24 page Gin menu and there's no mention of Gin Flights. We shall go on a mission on Britannia shortly. Rude not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our waiter advised us of it and we obvs had to take his advice lol. Just ask when u get there. They were called northern, southern and I don't remember the third for obvious reasons...but I can highly recommend! Along with the Laverstoke cocktail. Delicious!
