Nose
Lively orange – aromatic, oily and fragrant – alongside deeper, richer chocolate; reminiscent of chocolate orange.

Palate
Orange with a delicate sweetness and the fragrance of orange blossom followed by zesty lemon that morphs into green juniper notes.

Finish
Floral citrus and orange peels with a gentle sweetness that bring to mind Cointreau or Grand Marnier. A flourish of green leafiness follows.

Comments
A bright, fresh and vibrant gin – good for summer supping.

Score

8.3

Nose
Rooty with cassia bark, orris root and angelica; spruce forests and herbaceous notes, with the light floral notes of chamomile and lavender.

Palate
A rich, powerful and complex combination of juicy citrus fruits, soft fleshy fruits and mild curry spices.

Finish
Juicy with zesty fruits then dry with more earthy, herbal notes lingering.

Comments
An adaptable gin that would complement many a cocktail and work well with a number of flavoured or straight tonics.

Score

8.8
