Hoxton Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

The National Centre for Circus Arts is based in the former vestry of St Leonard Shoreditch Electric Light Station, just to the north of Hoxton Market. Inside, the "Generating Chamber" and "Combustion Chamber" provide facilities for circus training and production. The building was constructed by the Vestry in 1895 to burn local rubbish and generate electricity. It also provided steam to heat the public baths. This replaced an earlier facility providing gas-light, located in Shoreditch. A Biographical Sketch by blupete: Charles ("Elia") Lamb (1775–1834)". Blupete.com . Retrieved 18 February 2014.

Hoxton Gin, if it were to be personified in a film, would be that kid who was born into a family of car salesman. Great grandfather sold Fords; Grandpa sold Fords; and his father sold his first Mustang a month before he could drive one. Undeterred by the specter of the family business hanging over his head and ten tons of expectations, the kid decides he wants to be a banker, an artist, a poet, or whatever. Its not the what that matters so much as the fact that he does something with his family name (still renowned for their cars) that’s as far from the auto lot as possible. Ladies and Gentleman, meet Mr. Hoxton. Hoxton gin that is.

British History on-line, disagrees on this point, and considers the derivation lost in the past; it is however probable that it refers to an individual. Manufacturing developments in the years after the Second World War meant that many of the small industries that characterised Hoxton moved out. By the early 1980s, these industrial lofts and buildings came to be occupied by young artists as inexpensive live/work spaces, while exhibitions, raves and clubs occupied former office and retail space at the beginning of the 1990s. During this time Joshua Compston established his Factual Nonsense gallery on Charlotte Road in Shoreditch and organised art fetes in Hoxton Square. Their presence gradually drew other creative industries into the area, especially magazines, design firms, and dot-coms.

I had Hoxton Gin in a Hoxton and Tonic and I came away somewhat surprised. The harsh edge was taken off by the tonic, and the quinine complemented and offered a counterpoint to the overpowering coconut notes at the front. All in all, it didn’t taste a ton like a gin and tonic. But you know what it? It wasn’t bad, it was actually rather good and quite refreshing. I came away somewhat impressed. There’s a lot of snark out there about Hoxton Gin, but its not categorically bad.

It has some redeeming qualities, and without resorting to desperate experimentation (as other writers have suggested as the only way to make good use of this spirit) I found that a Gin and Tonic does it justice. Will it appeal to the average gin fanatic? I’d lean towards no. But for those who don’t mind an unusual edge to their gins, I think they might find a willing dance partner. I for example didn’t find the qualities any more extreme than G’vine’s Floraison for example. It was a deviation for sure and took some bold risks. But it isn’t a failure. Its just rather different.
