This Maison Selby cucumber gin by Dillon's Distillery was one I knew I had to try as soon as I saw it. I love cucumbers and I love gin, so I was hoping that this would be a no brainer for an impulse buy. The cucumber and floral nose quenches your thirst before you even drink it. Sipping neat, this gin might blow your hair back from a dominant ethanol flavour profile burn. That said, this gin positively shines in a simple cocktail (ice, soda, lime)! It's a dry gin (rather than other botanical-forward gins one might be used to), which does allow the cucumber to shine through. I'm impressed by how well it elegantly transforms into a crisp, refreshing tipple for a summer evening. 7.75/10
