Black Lodge PotionsWild Strawberry & Black Pepper Gin (70cl Bottle)

The bottle and branding are spot on. The gin itself, I suspect, will divide opinion. It's not sweet )which is good for me- I find far too many flavoured guns are sickly sweet, like liqueursI do get the strawberry flavour......though it's quite subtle and I don't really get any black pepper. That said, I've only tried a small amount so far in a shot glass.Not tried it with a mixer, so maybe that will bring flavours out more?A bit pricy, but I think you are paying for the bottle/branding and artisan marketing.Had Tameside Distillers Dark Cherry gin, that, admittedly was more expensive (and, of course not strawberry) and only a 50cl bottle - but was much more by Flavour forward compared to thisI have the cherry, chilli one wrapped up for Xmas, so am hoping that will be better.

This is an excellent flavoured gin, the chilli adds a nice savoury note and isn’t spicy in the slightest, and the cherry and chocolate isn’t spoilt by it. I would recommend an unflavoured tonic or lemonade as a mixer so you can get a good hit from the flavour of the gin although it does tastes really good with coke. The bottle is a lovely shape and when I’ve polished off the contents it’s going to look fab with some bottle lights inside. Delivery was fast and the packaging was top quality. I’ve tried many flavoured guns and this is now in my top three. I will definitely be buying this again. If you like Prosecco cocktails then definitely try it with a splash of this!

Wow, they got this just right, amazing flavour, cherry, chilli and chocolate, beautiful silky flavoured gin, met up to its expectations and more!!! Yum 😋

So much more than a great bottle! The flavour is amazing and taste fantastic paired with soda water or vanilla tonic!

This is a present for my fiancé's birthday, he loves unusual flavours, loves chilli, loves dark chocolate, so was such a find for me. I'm well impressed.

This wasn't what I expected, personally I couldnt taste the cherry at all and neat it was absolutely vile. However with a plain tonic and ice there was a nice hit of chocolate and chilli after. Its one you have to drink a few times and have chilled but definitely one to try.. just don't pour a tumbler neat like I did!

Lovely taste ... nicely presented.It’s very much a “wintery” flavour ... hence the only reason I give it 4 not 5 stars. Not sure it’s a Gin you would want to drink in warmer weather !?

I bought this to be a ‘novelty’ gin for a birthday but was pleasantly surprised with its looks and especially its taste. I will now be purchasing from this range again. Very nice Gin.
