Mixers tested with this Gin
-
It's okay
Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water
The tonic clearly takes control and pushes the gin into the background a little. There's still plenty of juniper.
-
-
Unexpectedly ordinary
Schweppes Dry Tonic Water
With this gin, you might have expected this tonic to secure those three stars. But the match wasn't quite right. Still a solid performance.

An excellent match
Thomas Henry Tonic Water
The standard choices aren't always the best tonics. But you can't go wrong with Thomas Henry Tonic Water here.
-
-
Fruity and bold
Doctor Polidori Cucumber Tonic Water
The cucumber stays in the background and brings some fruitiness to the fore. The tonic balances the flavours well.
-
-
Juniper enhancer
Thomas Henry Dry Tonic
A little acidity really brings out the juniper here. Other flavour notes are dialled down. A bold mix!
-
-
A bit like lemonade
Thomas Henry Botanical Tonic
This doesn't work well at all. The gin disappears, and the tonic is too sweet in this combination.
-
-
Sweet and bitter
Schweppes Indian Tonic Water
Almost cloyingly sweet, with a furry feel in the mouth. It doesn't work very well. Hardly any of the gin's notes stand out. You can give this one a miss.

About this bottle
This gin isn't simply Burgen Bio Dry Gin in different packaging. It's a gin with a mission. You could say there's a good deed in every bottle: for each bottle sold, €5.85 goes to various charities. And the gin even tastes beautifully classic: juniper meets citrus.
