Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin 70cl, 40%

Description

Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin 70cl, 40% is an English gin built around a deliberately different botanical profile, combining traditional juniper and citrus structure with the more unusual inclusion of blueberries and blackberries. The producer describes it as a disruptive style within the gin category, bringing together classic gin foundations and softer dark-fruit character in one recipe.

What makes this bottle especially attractive is the way it pushes smoothness and fruit-led depth without abandoning gin identity. The producer’s botanical breakdown shows juniper from Italy, lemon peel from Murcia, orange peel from Spain, Bulgarian coriander, cassia bark, liquorice, angelica, almond, orris, and the signature blueberries and blackberries, which together explain why the profile feels softer and broader than a standard London Dry-style expression.

Why Choose Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin 70cl, 40%

Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin 70cl, 40% stands out because it offers a recognisable gin structure with a more modern, rounded and fruit-layered style than many traditional bottles. The producer’s own description centres on the combination of proper juniper and citrus botanicals with improper notes of blueberries and blackberries, and the production process further supports that smooth character through a 14-hour maceration, nine-hour distillation and dilution to a final bottling strength of 40%.

Ideal For.

This bottle is ideal for gin drinkers who enjoy a softer, more fruit-accented botanical style while still wanting juniper and citrus at the core. This is based on the producer’s recipe description and botanical list.

It is ideal for Gin & Tonics, Martinis and more presentation-led serves where dark berry garnish and citrus lift can add extra character. The producer highlights a perfect serve with pink grapefruit peel, blueberries, premium tonic and large ice, and also features a Martini serve using the same gin.

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’s strong identity, unusual berry-led botanical profile and polished presentation style.

Collector’s Note

Brockmans Intensely Smooth Gin 70cl, 40% is not primarily a scarcity-led collector bottle, but it does carry strong shelf identity. Its appeal comes from being the house’s 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 and brand recognition than rarity. It works well for buyers who like keeping distinctive reference-point gins on hand, especially bottles that helped push the category toward more modern, fruit-led botanical styles. The second sentence is an inference based on the producer’s own description of the recipe as a disruptor in the category.
