Nose
Lemon and orange shortbread – buttery and full of zest, with the dark zest of candied peel and chocolate-covered turkish delight.
Palate
Cracked coriander seed with a little cilantro and a bright zing of citrus that tingles in the mouth with the floral spice of pink peppercorns.
Finish
Violet creams and sweet rose jelly before a sprinkling of pine sugar.
Comments
A powerful spirit packed full of flavour. A good choice for a Negroni.
Score
8.1

Nose
Juniper, spice and the more earthy notes of angelica give way to lighter floral and grassy aromas.
Palate
A mouthful of hot pepper and spice, which eases to reveal a juicy fruitiness and an underlying sweetness.
Finish
Dry, citrusy, spicy and slightly herbal flavours linger providing a great length that’s long and warm.
Comments
A balanced gin with a peppery kick. G&T-friendly, but with enough spiciness to stand up for itself in a cocktail. Garnish with
a stick of liquorice or a sprig of lavender.
