Nose
Gentle with hints of heather and spice that give the sweetness of cinnamon and cassia before a flash of citrus.

Palate
A green, crisp, and slightly stalky start with leafiness. Citrus notes follow: from mellow orange to zesty, peppery coriander seed and zingy lime.

Finish
Resinous with the hint of honey, jasmine, and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Comments
A complex and elegant gin that lends itself to a Martini or a long drink like gin and soda water, perhaps with a wedge of lime.

Score

8.3

Nose
Spicy green aromas and a forest-like woodiness. Tangy lemons are there.

Palate
Very green – juniper initially before a slightly soapy coriander note. Pepper and liquorice comes to the fore as the palate develops. Lemon sherbets bring a touch of zingy citrus.

Finish
Long with the green notes and earth. Some black pepper brings a savoury spice.

Comments
Classy. Grown-up flavours and all handled nicely so that nothing becomes overpowering. Mix with something that can handle that.

Score

8.5
