Nose
A fantastic nose that bursts forth from the glass with notes of chamomile and honeysuckle with honey and a gentle, sweet spice.
Palate
A complex gin with a lovely interplay of all of the ingredients. There are floral hay notes, along with cinnamon and nutmeg, followed by citrus.
Finish
Crunchy vegetal notes – green and fresh – that work well with lingering notes of juniper.
Comments
A lovely all-rounder with an excellent character and a “something for everyone” approach.
Score
9.1
Felicity Murray
Nose
Fresh and bright with a good balance of resinous pine, earthy angelica, ripe citrus fruits and herb gardens in flower, plus a hint of beeswax polish.
Palate
Bold and intense, slightly peppery but with a sweet berry juiciness that evolves into a smooth and creamy gooseberry fool.
Finish
Smooth and sharp like rhubarb and custard, satisfyingly long lasting.
Comments
Bring out the herbal bouquet with sage or mint leaves to garnish or enhance the fruitiness with seasonal berries.
