Nose
Aromatic citrus, orange, and coriander with lighter notes of spice and some dry chocolate.
Palate
There is a good texture to the spirit – slightly oily. Notes of earthy angelica are combined with a liquorice sweetness.
Finish
Dry with some residual pine and a gentle flicker of heat.
Comments
A nice example of gin with a good level of intensity; this should make a nice Gin & Tonic.
Score
7.8
Sam Coyne
Nose
Not the most forward. Delicately light spearmint, with subtle citrus notes.
Palate
Juniper leads into the spearmint, which is more pronounced than it was on the nose and liquorice. In the background awaits a roasted chestnut note.
Finish
Dry and long. Initially with the mint note, before a peppery spice comes through.
Comments
Refreshing with a few nice touches for a gin that will mix well with Indian Tonic for a straight-up G&T.
