Nose
Bright, leafy citrus with strong coriander aromas. Very aromatic with unfurling floral notes, lemon and gentle cinnamon.

Palate
A thick and creamy mouthfeel with spiced notes and vanilla. Sappy juniper, which quickly develops into succulent green leaves. Lemon balm and verbena, before warm, zesty orange.

Finish
Strong coriander seed and leaf, which is – unfortunately – on the cusp of becoming soapy.

Comments
A bold and leafy gin with a pleasant array of botanical character.

Score

7.4

Nose
Subtle aromas of damp earth and pine forests, followed by green, herbal notes balanced by a refreshing dash of lemon zest. 

Palate
Thick and juicy with herbal flavours. Juniper, thyme, basil and coriander leaf are at the fore, then lots of juicy citrus fruit mixed with nutmeg, liquorice and peppery spice.  

Finish
Dry with a sharp citrus edge.

Comments
Just as you’d expect. Would work well with a simple wedge of lemon in a classic tonic.

Score

7.9
