Fentimans Connoisseurs Tonic Water 125ml 24pc case

Tast­ing Notes from the Curator

Fen­ti­mans Con­nois­seurs Ton­ic Water has the exact same botan­i­cal line up as the Pre­mi­um Indi­an Ton­ic. Made of juniper, kaf­fir lime leaves, lemon­grass and an addi­tion of cin­chona bark. What makes this dif­fer from the lat­ter is a notably soft­er nose to the ton­ic. It is less acer­bic (sour or bit­ter) and brings a fuller, more round­ed cit­rus flavor. 

The fin­ish is less dry and more approach­able on its own. 

Pair­ings

Because of the flex­i­bil­i­ty of this drink, the Fen­ti­mans Con­nois­seurs Ton­ic Water makes it eas­i­er to pair with any gin. The right mix of this ton­ic water has allowed the gin or part­ner spir­it of choice to shine through. 

This ton­ic can be paired with some Bom­bay Sap­phire Gin and gar­nished with a lemon and mint sprig to make what is called the Con­nois­seurs Choice. If you’re the type to sat­is­fy a sweet tooth, you can opt for a G&T with cit­rus lemon fla­vors. Add lemon driz­zle gin like Sips­smith and gar­nish with lemon slices.

Fam­i­ly Owned Since 1905

In 1905, Thomas Fen­ti­man, an iron pud­dler from Cleck­heaton, Eng­land was approached by a fel­low trades­man for a loan. A deal was struck and a recipe for botan­i­cal­ly brewed gin­ger beer was pro­vid­ed as secu­ri­ty. The loan was nev­er repaid so Thomas became the own­er of the unique recipe. 

What began for the fam­i­ly as a busi­ness of pro­duc­ing botan­i­cal­ly brewed gin­ger beer became an empire 100 years lat­er. To adapt to the demands of an ever chang­ing world, Fen­ti­mans has been pro­duc­ing a vari­ety of drinks includ­ing their famed ton­ic water line­up. Cur­rent­ly the busi­ness is still in the Fen­ti­mans fam­i­ly and is owned by the Eldon, the Great Grand­son of Thomas Fentiman. 

Though they have stayed loy­al to tra­di­tion, there is one thing that has not changed: the supe­ri­or qual­i­ty, crafts­man­ship and unsur­passed flavour of every drink.
