David T. Smith

Nose
Fresh juniper with leafy, vegetal qualities followed by a soft, sherbet-esque sweetness and earthy liquorice.

Palate
A clean and crisp gin with a good texture and a gradual warmth. Very classic in style, with all of the botanical favourites, including juniper, angelica, and coriander.

Finish
Dry with a sweetness and spice – cinnamon and black pepper – followed by an alcoholic glow.

Comments
A solid gin with a very traditional approach that is mostly clean and balanced. A good everyday choice.

Score

7.3


Felicity Murray

Nose
A delicate bouquet of earthy juniper aromas balanced by citrus fruits, musky coriander seeds and spicy ginger, pepper, anise and cumin. The sweeter notes of honeysuckle, vanilla and liquorice root follow.

Palate
Mellow and buttery smooth with herbs sitting atop oodles of juicy melon, mango and lime.

Finish
Long and dry with a touch of lime and a slight nuttiness.

Comments
A delicate gin that would work well in a Martini or mixed with an elderflower tonic.

Score

8.2
