Andy Daniels transformed his passion for gin into the Gorilla Spirits Co. back in 2011, eventually releasing the brand’s first product in 2015 to critical acclaim. His commitment to high-quality spirits has endured since. He produces award-winning small-batch spirits with an ethical slant and donates 10% of all profits to The Gorilla Organization.
The brand’s latest release is a trio of distinct flavors: the classic Gorilla Spirits Co. Silverback Mountain Strength Gin is joined by the Silverback Wild Strawberry Gin and the Silverback Old Tom Gin. The selection captures the spectrum of flavors the brand has become renowned for, from traditional London Dry gins to more adventurous, fruity offerings.
For the classic edition, there’s the Silverback Mountain Strength Gin, emphasizing elegant citrus and a gentle finish that helped earn Gorilla Spirits Co. its strong reputation. Distilled using British wheat that earned its London Dry namesake, it blends seven botanicals, including Calamus Root, Acacia Blossom, Lemongrass, Coriander Seed, Angelica Root, and Sweet Orange.
The Silverback Wild Strawberry Gin delivers a sweeter, more fragrant experience, perfect for a hot summer’s day. Balanced with a hint of juniper to offset the sweetness of the strawberries, it’s ideal mixed with a light tonic and a fresh mint garnish.
Lastly, the Old Tom Gin Silverback pays homage to the distillation methods of 18th-century England and the Coffey Still, known for its smooth texture and perfect for various cocktails. It’s an impressively well-rounded collection of Gorilla Spirits Co. gins that will find a welcome home in any self-respecting drinks cabinet.
