Ableforth's Bathtub Gin, formerly known as Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Bathtub Gin, is a curious throwback to the days when compounded gins were made in bathtubs by steeping flavourings in very low quality raw spirit to take the edge off the roughness, and were diluted by turning on the tap.
Of course, in Tunbridge Wells things are done a little differently, with the rechristened Ableforth's maestros Atom Brands using a high quality pot-distilled gin steeped with fresh botanicals including cloves, cardamom and orange peel. They probably don't use an actual bathtub for the steeping either. We hope.
Tasting Notes & Serving Suggestion
Nose: Fresh and bold juniper leads the way with fragrant citrus and cardamom. Notes of fresh orange peel and cinnamon add to an enticing nose. Taste: Juniper again leads, but there’s plenty more besides. The mouthfeel is thick and creamy whilst the cloves, coriander and cardamom offer depth. Finish: Here the supporting botanicals really shine with lingering cardamom and orange peel on the tail.
Bathtub Gin tastes great with premium tonic and a wedge of orange.

An exciting deep rich brown coloured liquid.
A compote of fruit together with dried grapes is lovely on the tongue.
Nicely sweetened syrup is evident too.
Invested in two bottles but will be ordering a third.
Great warming malt enjoyed by two. (One aka Pig)
I know I bought a cask strength whisky but was expecting a nice taste but the strength overpowered the flavor, I found it harsh, but I am not a whiskey conasur. I also bought the secret Orkney signatory cask strength and that was very nice.
