Found this on it:
The taste of Kammerling's is fresh and citrusy on the nose with light floral/anise and juniper notes, with a sweet, rich and spiced herbal palate, finally ending with a long, honeyed bitterness.
It is delicious served neat over ice or with bitter lemon, although it mixes well with pretty much everything.
It has taken Alex Kammerling 5 years to create the perfect recipe, drawing on everything that he's learnt over the last 18 years working as a bartender, brand ambassador, and drinks writer.
Kammerling's is not like other spirits. For a start, it contains four types of ginseng, along with fresh grapefruit peels and manuka honey, as well as 38 other natural botanicals including, juniper, echinacea, ginkgo biloba and goji berries. At 33% abv, it's also slightly lighter than most spirits.
It is made in the same way as gin - the botanicals are macerated in neutral spirit for 48 hours and then distilled in a small pot still to extract all the aromatics. This distillate is then blended with a bittersweet infusion including manuka honey and annatto (which gives it a golden hue) and then blended to 33% abv.
Kammerling's was inspired by the long historical use of alcohol as a medicine, which dates back over 2000 years (Hippocrates was a firm believer in alcoholic herbal infusions.)
It was invented Highbury, north London, but is now made and bottled in Clapham, South London.
I didn't manage to get a sample but live in Clapham so wonder if I popped in and asked them nicely whether they'd give me one??? .... A sample I mean! loool
Is it a BREWERY in Clapham as if it is I wonder if they do TOURS as part of the tour is always some samples and sounds like they want to promote it as a new drink...0 -

Unfortunately, due to an unprecedented number of visitors over the past 24 hours, I have had to pull this promotion as I have run out of stock!
