Nose
Earthy. Plenty of orris root and a mix of blackcurrant and violet, followed by a green, vegetal leafiness.
Palate
A relatively sweet gin accompanied by peppery notes and some earthy nuttiness with a butteryness too.
Finish
Bright, fresh, lemony citrus combined with coriander and a dash of piney juniper.
Comments
A slightly sweeter gin that would be great for those who usually find a Gin & Tonic or Negroni too bitter.
Score
7.8
Felicity Murray
Nose
Packed with bright fresh garden herbs, mown meadows and summer hedgerow berries, then pine needles and underlying earthy aromas follow, along with a touch of lemon juice.
Palate
Earthy and slightly herbal, dry and peppery with an alcohol-induced warmth, eventually some citrus fruits.
Finish
Warm and peppery with sherbet lemon lingering.
Comments
Lends itself to experimentation with tonics and garnishes – pile in the summer herbs and berries or chunks of citrus fruit.
