Nose
An exotic and unusual nose with bright citrus, creamy chocolate and a hint of saffron: a true symphony of aromas.

Palate
Succulent and juicy to start, with mandarin and citrus floral notes that develop into a fresh, green leafiness and, finally, some spice.

Finish
Perfumed notes are combined with the aromatic power of saffron that continues long into the finish.

Comments
A complex and powerful gin that would make a refreshingly different gin and tonic and has good Gimlet potential.

Score

8.6

Nose
One sniff of this is like walking into a wholefood store, straight up to the row of crystallised fruits.

Palate
Don’t leave the store just yet; take a right turn into the spices. This is great; the fruits are still there, as is a little bit of pure citrus, combined with some light earthy notes.

Finish
Florality coming through from those delicate spices, lingering nicely.

Comments
Thanks to the variety of flavours in this gin, I wouldn’t want to play around with it all that much. Add a little splash of tonic and sip away.

Score

8.5
