Dr. Eamers
Dr. Eamers' Black Gin 43% 70cl
- Details
Just on the other side of the M5 motorway which sweeps around the west edge of Birmingham sits the West Midlands Distillery, a venture originally set up in 2017 by Jordan Lunn. His great-grandfather was a brewer, his great uncle a distiller and his mother a publican, so alcohol was always part of his heritage, and after several years of dabbling in small scale production he decided to move full-time into distilling, opening a distillery in Netherton in 2018 and encouraging family members to help him. The gin brand would be named after his nickname 'Dreamer'.
In 2020 the site moved to Rowley Regis and expanded to include a bar, bottle shop and visitors centre. A single malt whisky is on the way - the first from the Midlands - and the business also produces spirits under contract.
Recently Dr. Eamers gins underwent a bold rebranding, with bottles designed by Jordan's brother-in-law. The distinctive glass is hand-painted to evoke flowers - or in the case of the vodka waves of the sea - introducing a beautifully tactile effect.
Based in the Black Country, it seemed logical to produce a 'black' gin. But upon pouring you'll see it's actually more of a deep purple (oh, if only the band had been formed in Birmingham, not London!) created by macerating butterfly pea flowers and even more juniper 'berries' (they're actually cones) in the distilled spirit. This second hit of juniper creates even more of a spicy kick, with cracked black pepper and blackcurrants on the finish. It's a bit overbearing for a gin forward cocktail such as a Martini but with a soft tonic this will create a deliciously eye-catching drink!
