Description
Additional information

General Meakins is a Kenyan flavored spirit marketed by London Distillers. It is a blend of malt and grain spirits, finished with spiced flavoring, intended to offer a strong, vibrant experience rather than subtlety. It has a reputation locally for its high strength and bold character, often consumed in social gatherings.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Clear, colorless spirit with high clarity.
Aroma: Strong alcohol presence initially, with hints of vanilla, caramel, and light spice in the background.
Palate: Intense and warming; noticeable caramel or toffee sweetness, spiced notes (nutmeg, cinnamon), and grain backbone.
Finish: Long and warming; the alcohol heat lingers, with residual sweetness and spice balancing the bite.
ABV: ~50%

Serving Suggestions:
Serve chilled or on ice to soften the heat. Use as a bold base in cocktails (e.g. spiced highball, punch, tropical mixers) or enjoy in small neat or “straight” pours. It pairs well with bold flavored snacks or strong‐spiced foods.
