Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin 1L, 40%
Tasting Notes
Colour: Clear. This is an inference based on the gin style and the official production description, with no indication of added colour in the sources reviewed.
Nose: Juniper, citrus peel and fragrant wild berries. This is based on the official Brockmans recipe description and the 1L retail tasting summary describing traditional gin notes with blueberries, blackberries, citrus and coriander.
Palate: Smooth and rounded, with dark berries, citrus brightness, gentle spice and soft botanical depth. This is based on the official botanical list and the 1L retail description of an intensely smooth profile.
Finish: Long, mellow and softly spiced, with berry sweetness fading into citrus and dry botanical structure. This is an inference based on the official recipe, production style and reviewed tasting description.
Description
Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin 1L, 40% is the larger-format presentation of Brockmans’ original gin, built around traditional juniper and citrus botanicals with the more unusual addition of blueberries and blackberries. The official Brockmans product page describes this recipe as combining proper gin structure with improper dark-berry notes, while current 1L retail listings confirm the 1 litre, 40% format.
What makes this bottle especially attractive is the way it keeps a recognisable gin backbone while delivering a softer, more rounded and more fruit-led profile than a standard London Dry style. Brockmans’ official botanical breakdown lists blueberries, blackberries, juniper, lemon peel, orange peel, coriander, cassia bark, liquorice, angelica, almond and orris, which explains why the spirit feels both smooth and layered rather than sharply juniper-driven.
Why Choose Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin 1L, 40%
Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin 1L, 40% stands out because it offers the same signature Brockmans recipe in a more generous bottle size that suits regular gin drinkers, home bars and longer-term use. The official production page also supports the “intensely smooth” identity through a 14-hour maceration, nine-hour distillation and dilution to a final strength of 40%, while the 1L product listing describes it as suitable for drinking neat or over ice as well as in mixed serves.
Ideal For.
This bottle is ideal for gin drinkers who enjoy a softer, berry-accented botanical style while still wanting juniper and citrus at the core. This is based on Brockmans’ official description of the recipe and the published botanical list.
It is ideal for Gin & Tonics, longer mixed drinks and home-bar use where a 1L format offers more practical value than a standard 70cl bottle. This is based on the confirmed 1 litre format and the product description noting that the gin can be enjoyed neat or over ice, alongside its broader mixer-friendly style.
It is also ideal for gifting or for adding a more distinctive, modern English gin to a serious home bar. This is an inference based on the bottle size, the brand’s strong visual identity and the unusual berry-led botanical profile.

Collector’s Note
Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin 1L, 40% is not primarily a scarcity-led collector bottle, but it does have strong shelf identity. Its appeal comes from being Brockmans’ signature original expression, defined by an unusual dark-berry twist that clearly separates it from more conventional gin styles.
For that reason, its appeal is more about flavour identity, brand recognition and presentation than rarity. In 1L form, it also feels especially suited to buyers who want a fuller-size bottle of a recognisable modern gin rather than a smaller-format novelty. The final sentence is an inference based on the confirmed 1L format and the established Brockmans recipe.
