Nose
Citrus aromas of orange and lemon, accompanied by a little nutty coriander and oily lemongrass. 

Palate
Oily on the palate with more citrus flavours; vibrant, but bundled up with juniper and angelica so that it keeps a distinctly gin character. 

Finish
Coriander and cilantro with cassia spice and anise.

Comments
A wonderful combination of citrus and spice. A gin that would mix well with ginger ale.

Score

8.6

Nose
Lemon peel, heavy, oily juniper, coriander and a spicy touch. Maybe something herbal at the back. It feels quite classic to me. 

Palate
More juniper notes with a hit of peppery spice that clears just a little to reveal some light menthol freshness.

Finish
The spice notes cling on with a wash of oily juniper. 

Comments
In any mix, you’d need something that would match up to that heavy spice – perhaps an aromatic tonic would do nicely.

Score

8.4
