Nose
Decadent creamy notes of chocolate orange with ginger, before richer aromas of orange waft up from the glass. 

Palate
A little oiliness on the palate and a strong botanical intensity. Trademark citrus from the nose continues on the palate with warm, spicy coriander and a hint of ginger spice.  

Finish
Dark notes of melted chocolate linger on the palate accompanied by a slight nuttiness. 

Comments
A gin of warm, cosy flavours. Lovely for a hot toddy or an Old Fashioned.

Score

8.1

Nose
Citrus – fresh lemon peel, orange high-juice squash. Ginger biscuits with an orange cream filling. A touch of baking spice, and there’s a menthol-herbal note, too. 

Palate
She’s a spicy one: pepper, coriander, more baking spice hints. Juicy lemon and sweet orange, followed by juniper notes mid-palate. 

Finish
Tingly, chilli-lemon finish. Very soft and also pleasantly mouth-coating. 

Comments
A really pleasant gin. It could make an interesting Collins, with all those citrus notes.

Score

9.0
