Nose
Clementine marmalade with bitter orange peel, green juniper and fragrant marigold.
Palate
Initial flavours of coriander citrus followed by mellow, creamy vanilla bean. A dry woodiness followed, before hay- like floral notes and a gentle, tart fruitiness.
Finish
Crisp juniper berries with earthy black pepper.
Comments
A delightful and aromatic gin with the intensity of a Navy Gin, but none of the clichés. A lovely choice for a Gin Tonica.
Score

Nose
Pine forests merge with the juniper, and citrus fruits then more herbal and floral notes with a touch of lemon grass and chamomile.
Palate
Warm, rich and buttery with Christmas spices. Vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and zesty orange. Well balanced and full of flavour.
Finish
Long smooth and creamy, retaining warmth and flavour.
Comments
Perfect for winter evenings. Serve in a tumbler with ice and a standard tonic water plus a twist of orange peel or a vanilla pod to garnish.
