Nose
Crisp, resinous green notes and plenty of juniper, along with the dry, slightly tannic fruit of the lingonberry.

Palate
Some initial, nutty almond bitterness, followed by cherry, cranberry, and lingonberry fruit. Green, piney notes develop, reminiscent of forest walks.

Finish
Dry on the finish, with nutty lingonberry and a final sparkle of pine.

Comments
An excellent, complex representation of lingonberry that is truly in harmony with the underlying gin. Begs to be mixed in a Negroni.

Score

9.2

Nose
Like a Welsh bara brith: dried fruit, baking spices, a touch of fortified wine and a slight bitterness, like tea tannins. There’s a touch of royal icing sweetness, too.

Palate
It’s got an interesting mouthfeel. The sweet and spicy cake notes are still there, getting stickier.

Finish
Piney juniper and more bittersweet orange notes.

Comments
This gin held my attention, evolving as it went. With all those spice and orange notes, it would be a good contender for a Negroni.

Score

8.4
