Nose
Mint chocolate from the start: creamy, but nonetheless dry and not sickly or sweet.

Palate
Rich and buttery cocoa at the start, followed by flavours of fresh mint and an orange zing. A little spice – cassia and ginger – then reveals itself.

Finish
Malty, bready notes, along with flavours of coriander and orange that linger in the mouth long after your last sip. 

Comments
A rather fun gin that plays with some sweet characters, but doesn’t forget what a dry gin is all about.

Score

7.8


Felicity Murray

Nose
Soft with aromas of juniper, pine needles, citrus fruits and sweet spices with a slightly floral edge of lavender and rosemary

Palate
Delicate, smooth and slightly sweet with ripe stone fruits, summer berries and herbs. 

Finish
Long and balanced with a soft fruitiness. 

Comments
Delicate and easy to drink. Will blend well in many traditional cocktails, such as a dry Martini or Negroni. Garnish with cinnamon and black peppercorns for spice, or cool it down with frozen slice of lime.

Score

8.2
