Nose
Chamomile and meadowsweet, accompanied by pine blossom, rose and strawberry. Delicate with a resinous quality.

Palate
A divine and luxurious texture. The palate achieves a delightful balance between sweet spice and crisp, clean juniper that really sparkles in the glass.

Finish
Black pepper and dark chocolate linger for minutes after sipping and are mixed with a light woodiness.

Comments
A textbook Old Tom and a great choice for a Tom Collins or a Sweet Martini. A must try!

9.4

Nose
A wonderfully ginny hit of juniper with added sweet and floral notes. Fresh summer meadow flowers and citrus fruits with a little honey on the side.

Palate
A thick, honeyed mouthfeel gives way to mint, fennel, liquorice, white chocolate and a big, zesty grapefruit bite. 

Finish
Smooth, slightly herbal with a lemony sharpness that cuts through the candied sweetness. 

Comments
Not too sweet and retaining the classic juniper-led gin aromas and flavours. Would go well in a Tom Collins.

Score

8.2
