Nose
Vegetal and slightly green with notes of celery stalk and fresh leaves, with coriander and lemon in the background.
Palate
The gin has a soft and elegant mouthfeel with an initial earthy, sweet flavour of liquorice root followed by soft spice and lemon thyme.
Finish
Sweet, lingering spice with some butteriness and, at the end, notes of violet.
Comments
A soft and subtle gin that is easy to sip and would make a lovely Dry Martini with a lemon twist.
Score
7.6
Felicity Murray
Nose
Spicy notes of ginger, anise and cumin and a dusting of angelica, underlying subtle aromas of citrus fruits and fresh mixed herbs. Delicate and complex.
Palate
Quite dry and crisp with traces of mixed spice, pepper, lemon zest, apples
and pears.
Finish
Custard cream tart and a little lemon barley linger, but only for a short while.
Comments
The subtle flavours of this gin would make it a good choice for a newcomer to gin and G&Ts. It would also work well in an Aviation cocktail.
