Nose
Slightly jammy citrus, we’re thinking lemon marmalade, followed by coriander and finally dry juniper.

Taste
Succulent fruit notes to start with, followed by biscuity coriander, resinous juniper and some background spice.

Finish
Crisp, resinous pine with some zesty citrus; clean and long-lasting. 

Comments
A lively and delicious classic gin; it’s great to see this style being enjoyed around the world.

Score

9.0


Felicity Murray

Nose
Rich, nutty and spicy with a heady mix of nutmeg, cardamom, cumin, cinnamon and ginger along with a trace of dusty, earthy, angelica and orris root.

Palate
Big and oily with a lot of heat over a subtle citrus and sweet liquorice bite. 

Finish
Warm and mildly fruity with gentle sweet spices. Quite long. 

Comments
Lacks some balance and complexity. However, it’s an interesting and bold gin, that would make a flavoursome G&T. Try with a fruit flavoured tonic.

Score

7.9
