Nose
Citrus – a mix of lemon and lime with sweetness from anise and liquorice.

Palate
Sweet spice upfront – perhaps a pinch of nutmeg – before some definite citrus, making this reminiscent of lemon drizzle cake, complete with icing.

Finish
As the creamy vanilla fades, notes of orange appear and linger with a definite zestiness on the finish.

Comments
A bright and exciting gin and a great choice as a base for gin punches, fruit cups, or a G&T.

Score

8.7

Nose
Delicate fragrant fruity notes with fresh garden herbs and flowers – jasmine, lavender, honeysuckle and roses. The juniper is a little shy. 

Palate
Spicy, juicy, rich and smooth, with fruity elements. Simply delicious. 

Finish
Rich and spicy with lavender, melon, lemon and ginger lingering. 

Comments
Those who prefer less juniper heavy gins will love this delicate, summery gin. Mix with tonic and serve with a garnish of mint and strawberries, or a slice of ginger and lime.

Score

7.8
