Nose
Luxurious smoked notes: cured ham, Applewood smoked cheese, and hickory smoke; there’s a touch of sweetness, but salinity, too.
Palate
Initial smoke and salted caramel is followed by lapsang souchong and smoky bacon, before crisp and definitive notes of juniper highlighted by coriander citrus.
Finish
A lingering oiliness with a clean, crisp smokiness and touch of toasted wood.
Comments
A true harmony between smoke and gin flavours. It would make a kick-ass Negroni.
Score
9.1

Nose
Sweet smoke, like maple-cured barbecued meats. Rich lemon peel citrus.
Palate
A touch of juniper at first, then a beautiful marriage of sweet and smoky: honey-cured ham, maple-glazed ribs with lemon squeezed over, and a touch of paprika.
Finish
Smoky and lingering, like sitting next to a smouldering barbecue with residual meat fats and a lemon roasting on the coals.
Comments
A brilliant gin that hides its ABV well. This deserves to be appreciated as it is, just sipped over ice.
