Nose
Plump strawberries, tart raspberries and redcurrants, creamy vanilla then lemon and gentle pine.

Palate
Strawberry, followed by the classic angelica. This moves onto citrus of lemon and orange before returning to berries.

Finish
Delicate floral notes of vanilla, blossom and rose are joined by a lingering note of strawberry and a gentle, fruity tartness.

Comments
A sterling flavoured gin. The strawberry character is clear and authentic, but the botanical integrity of the gin remains.

9.0


Sam Coyne

Nose
Strawberry ice-cream, the ones made with real cream and studded with bits of fruit. A lemon note. Runny honey on toast.

Palate
Fresh strawberry and juniper forward, with a salty note immediately following this up. Once this savoury note passes the strawberries remain with lemon.

Finish
Back to the strawberry ice-creams from the nose.

Comments
Great handling of delicate flavours. Choose a lighter tonic that won’t overpower the gin, or if you’re feeling fancy, mix into a Clover Club.
