Nose
Green pine with soft fruity aromas of strawberry and raspberry, accompanied by a hint of clotted cream.
Taste
Soft and well-rounded in flavour, with earthy floral notes and some honeyed violets, before more tangy citrus.
Finish
A dry, clean finish with a flinty earthiness, a touch of cereal, and lingering notes of pine.
Comments
A good all-rounder that would work well in a Gin & Tonic with a wedge of orange.
Score
7.8
Felicity Murray
Nose
Rich and enticing, chocolate with nuts and raisins, dark forest fruits, liquorice, ginger and juniper.
Palate
Full flavoured with bitter cocoa, vanilla and ground coffee beans mingle with juicy oranges, macadamia nuts and rich fruitcake flavours.
Finish
Long, dry and deliciously chocolaty with a pinch of pepper. Not too sweet, leaving you wanting more.
Comments
This unusual gin could make an interesting cocktail base, but serve neat over ice cubes with a sprig of mint or orange slice to garnish.
