Martin Millers' answer was the gin you will discover within this box.
Martin Miller's Westbourne dry gin.
You will find it's emphasis on the spicier, peppery notes of cassia and nutmeg, harnessed to a higher strength make it the most versatile of gins.
As with all Martin Miller's Gins it employs two different distiillations both using a copper pot still. Only the spirit's 'heart' is taken from the two, heads and tails in both cases are discarded and not re-distilled.
The final gin is then created using these two separate distillates, one heavily reliant on Juniper and Cassia, and the other where citrus is dominant.
These two distillates are then skilfully blended together to give this gin its unique balance of Herbaceous Juniper, peppery cassia, and brilliant citrus notes.
When fist introduced in 2003 Westbourne Dry Gin was awarded 97 points by the respected beverage testing institute. Twelve years later, in 2015, it was once again awarded 97 points an achievement that no other gin has ever matched.
In 2016 it was voted the World's Best Gin by the drinks report. It is also wine enthusiast's highest rated gin with a score of 94 points.

Brand
About 75 km north of Reykjavik, standing by Borgarfjörður, is the small village of Borgarnes. It was first noted in the Icelandic sagas as the home of the of the famous Viking warrior and 'Berserker' Egils Skallagrimsson. Borgarnes was authorised as a trading port in 1861.
It was to Borgarnes, in 1999, that Martin Miller was drawn in his search for the perfect water with which to craft his gin. The water source he found there was pure it requires no treatment prior to use. Treatments such as demineralization or pasteurisation have a profound effect, rendering the treated water totally neutral, resulting in it having virtually no effect on the finished gin beyond diluting it to bottling strength. But water is the major ingredient in gin, making up to sixty percent of the total in the bottle.
For Martin Miller this made no sense at all. That is why he sought out and used Icelandic Spring water for his blending. Its soft mouth feel and unique ability to hold and gently release his gins unique and is now the secret at the heart of all Martin Miller's Gins.
Distilled in England, Westbourne Dry Gin is handcrafted in small batches using a copper pot still taking only the spirit's 'heart'. Created using two separate distillates, one heavily reliant on Juniper, the other citrus, the two distillates are skillfully blended to give this gin its unique balance of herbaceous Juniper and brilliant citrus notes.
Blended to a bottling strength of 45.2%, Westbourne Dry Gin is bright, and soft with attractive, complex, aromas of Pepper and Cassia.
With its long, dry finish this multi-award winning gin is the perfect accompaniment to all the classic cocktails. G &Ts, and makes the perfect dry Martini

Tried it neat, it's a winner
It's nearly a shame to put anything in it. It has a rounded taste, dry too, but it made me think of traditional marshmallow, which I really love.
It's grown on us
Initially we weren't sure, didn't like it as much as normal Martin Miller. But we kept trying it, and now it's grown on us. Reminds me of martinis, although it doesn't taste like a martini.....but if you like a martini you might like this! And if you don't, just keep trying it until you do!
A Lovely Drink, worth every penny.
I never liked Gin until I tasted this brand, I am now converted. I have tried lots of other brands since but this is without a doubt still my favorite. A bit expensive compared to some but worth every penny, I highly recommend this gin.
Delicous
wonderful, nearly my favourite gin of all. Impossible, I think, to not absolutely enjoy this.
Delicious. A must for gin lovers.
So delighted that Ocado now stock this gin. It is perfection in a glass.
