Nose
Bold citrus and spicy coriander, along with earthy angelica and piney juniper.
Palate
Intense notes of woody citrus develop into powerful and resinous juniper. Well-balanced and complex.
Finish
A hint of florality and gentle heat are joined by more juniper.
Comments
A powerful gin and a brilliant example of a classic gin. A good choice for a Gin & Tonic or a Martini.
Score
8.8

Nose
Some great classic notes on the nose; citrus, juniper, coriander and angelica. Liquorice. Starts out bright and inviting.
Palate
Wow, a lovely rich and oily mouthfeel. There is juniper and citrus upfront, which is nicely balanced.
Finish
Clean with a warming spice and an earthy, wood note.
Comments
Punchy and that mouthfeel is almost like a dessert. Could stand up in a number of cocktails, but the classic notes will naturally lead it to Martinis and with tonic.
