Nose
Bright, creamy strawberry gelato, lemon, succulent leafiness and dry juniper.

Palate
Juniper and dried strawberry to start; not too sweet, with a light bitterness.
The richer, fruity notes then unfurl, combined with notes of vanilla ice cream and zesty spice from coriander, lemon and orange.

Finish
More citrus, followed by the mellow warmth of black pepper.

Comments
A spirit that is thankfully not too sweet, however the rich fruitiness promised on the nose doesn’t quite deliver on the palate.

Score

7.3

Nose
Musty with a bit of sweet strawberry and soft summer fruits emerging.

Palate
Packed with flavours, fiery and piquant. Imparts a juicy, fruity mouthfeel that’s sweet but with a spicy and savoury edge. A light and fresh gin with a pretty rosé hue.

Finish
The sweetness lingers behind dry pepper, with vanilla and nutmeg.

Comments
Enjoy neat over crushed ice or with a regular tonic water. Garnish with a strawberry or even a vanilla pod.

Score

8.5
