Patience Winter Gin 2025 is a limited British dry gin from Patience Distillery, bottled at 44% ABV. It belongs to the distillery's small seasonal series, with only one hundred hand-numbered bottles made for the release. The recipe is described as full-bodied and dry, bringing clementine, toasted hazelnuts and seasonal spices to a juniper-led gin. It is a winter gin by flavour and texture, not simply by name: citrus brightness is joined to nutty depth and a more warming spice register.

Clementine gives the gin a softer, sweeter citrus perfume than lemon or lime, while toasted hazelnuts introduce a roasted, earthy note. Seasonal spices are part of the recipe but are not individually disclosed, so the profile is best read through their collective warmth rather than through a speculative list. Juniper provides the dry botanical foundation, ensuring that the clementine and nut character remain part of a gin rather than turning the bottle into a sweet winter cordial.

The nose combines citrus peel, warm spice and a gently toasted nutty note. On the palate, clementine brings a rounded opening before the hazelnut character gives breadth through the middle. The 44% ABV bottling offers a full, steady texture and supports the dry juniper line underneath. Its finish is warm and composed, returning to citrus zest, roasted nut and spice with a lingering dry botanical edge.

Patience Winter Gin 2025 is especially good in a winter gin and tonic with large ice, a neutral tonic and a wide clementine peel. Avoid sweet mixers that would obscure its dry, nutty side. Its fuller profile also suits a short serve over ice, or a seasonal Martinez-style cocktail where citrus peel and a measured vermouth component can echo the gin without masking its spice.
