Nose
A clean, subtle nose, with gentle juniper and aromas of angelica.
Taste
A modest and restrained gin, with a little sweetness on top of underlying juniper and citrus.
Finish
Soft and clean with a residual hint of lemon.
Overall
A nicely-made gin, but one that is relaxed in terms of intensity; I’d like a bolder flavour.
Score
8.0
Felicity Murray
Nose
Fresh green notes, floral with a hint of citrus, clean and bright over an earthy background – like a walk in the country on a wet spring morning.
Palate
Gentle at first then bursts of peppery spice and citrus flavours break through along with liquorice and sweet chestnut.
Finish
Pleasantly citrusy and peppery. Medium length.
Comments
A balanced and refreshing gin with plenty of flavour that will break through a classic tonic mixer, as well as some of the new flavoured tonics; cucumber, elderflower.
