David T. Smith

Nose
Complex and aromatic scents of green leaves and honey with beautiful, plump juniper.

Palate
A nuanced sweetness on the palate along with sticky, resinous juniper combined with sappy cedar that, together, provide a truly classic flavour profile.

Finish
Dark sugar and orange with soft malty notes of some coriander seed.

Comments
A fun gin with plenty for the traditionalists while maintaining a bright and lively character.

Score

8.0

Nose
Baked stone fruits, sticky and caramelised. A hint of raspberry, too. It’s all very jammy, like a fruit cobbler, with vanilla and a hint of nutmeg.

Palate
Piney, heavy juniper comes through early in the palate, with some spice and a light touch of citrus. The jammy notes then come up from behind.

Finish
The fruit cobbler notes return and fade to a dry finish.

Comments
With all those jammy fruit notes, this could make a good partner for a citrus tonic to bring a bit of sharp citrus balance to it.

Score

7.9
