Brockmans Gin is a modern English gin that takes a different approach to the traditional London Dry style by placing greater emphasis on fruit-led botanicals. Produced by Brockmans Gin, it is distilled using a neutral grain spirit and a selection of botanicals that include not only classic ingredients like juniper, coriander, and citrus peel, but also blueberries and blackberries. These additions are integrated during distillation rather than added afterwards, shaping the overall character of the spirit from the start.
This approach reflects a shift toward more accessible and contemporary gin styles, where the balance moves slightly away from juniper dominance toward a broader botanical profile. Brockmans was developed to appeal to a wider audience, including those who might find traditional gin too dry or sharp. It is often used in cocktails that highlight its fruit elements, and has become part of a category of gins that prioritise versatility and a softer, more rounded profile while still maintaining a clear gin identity.
