Top Gear enthusiasts are grappling with deciding which member of the iconic trio is producing the finest gin. Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond each boast their own gin brand, leaving devotees of the threesome pondering which beverage reigns supreme.
The Grand Tour hosts ended their adored Amazon Prime program last year, but they now have a range of gins and ales that they have used to enter the beverage sector. The trio, who each launched their own liquor businesses separately, created a number of beverages, including Clarkson’s Hawkstone lager.
Enthusiasts are now attempting to determine which of the three gins is superior, with the general opinion that one outweighs the other two.
A fan posted to the r/ClarksonsFarm Reddit forum, enquiring whether people had sampled all three gins from the former Top Gear hosts.
They posed the question, “Have you seen that Top Gear three of the top three can now sell gin?” Jeremy Clarkson’s “Hawstone Gin” costs $37. The Asian Parsnip variation of James’ Gin sells for £33, whereas the British brand is only available in 50 bottles. 99.
Ratio London Dry Gin, a gin from Hammond, costs £44 on Amazon. 50. Residents of the UK can still purchase the three gins, despite imports that have occurred and international gin sales.
One person said, “I don’t drink gin. However, from what we’ve seen, I’d assume that James has the best version. “
Another party who had tried the drinks afterward confirmed James May’s gin was a top-notch tipple. They continued, “James Gin is very good; I’m just not sure if it’s worth the $50-ish price per bottle.”
There are plenty of good bottles at my ABC Store for $35, so go to that instead. My last bottle was the American Rumstad, which was a nice novelty and quite tasty. “
Another agreed, adding that the three bottles’ most “straightforward” gin is May’s. I’ve had three Mays and three Clarkson’s, according to a gin fan. They all had some solidity. The May gins were a little more straightforward than the Clarkson gins because of the funky aromatics used. “
A third person said, “May’s gin is the best (shoutout out to Rhub***ard Cider from Clarkson, though),” having tried all three. “
Hawkstone Gin was recommended by Clarkson’s Farm’s fans as well.
The best ingredients from the Scottish Highlands and the rolling Oxfordshire hills are combined in this gin, which also includes premium wheat grown on local farms. “
Ratio London Dry, which Richard Hammond described as “the countryside in a gin glass,” also made an appearance in the gin market. “
