Nose
A good, classic gin nose; juniper coriander, angelica and some citrus. Soft and understated, but certainly discerning.
Palate
A smooth texture with notes of chocolate orange at the fore, followed by sweet violet. The flavours develop into green pine and woody angelica.
Finish
Zesty coriander, white pepper and a residual note of orange zest.
Comments
For a classic gin, this is a good standard that won’t disappoint and will be good in Gin & Tonics, Martinis, etc.
Score
8.6
Felicity Murray
Nose
Powerful but balanced, with juniper and juicy citrus fruits at the fore mingling with peppery spices, freshly chopped herbs and subtle earthy notes.
Palate
Deliciously juicy and well rounded. Hugely citrusy with oranges and zesty lemons mixed with plenty of spice.
Finish
Long, smooth and warming with a twist of bitter orange.
Comments
A great choice for traditionalists. It ticks all the boxes for a versatile London Dry that will stand up well to a variety of mixers and garnishes.
