Nose
Forest fruit aromas – bittersweet with an almond nuttiness – with notes of cherry, plum, blackberry, and sloe.

Palate
An initial tartness of the fruit, combined with a restrained sourness. The fruitier flavours unfurl, bringing the complexity of various hedgerow fruit. 

Finish
A green leafiness lingers, with an astringency akin to blackcurrant, with mint.

Comments
A complex and balanced liqueur with both gin and fruit notes coming through. Superb with bitter lemon or in a Gin Sour.

Score

8.3


Felicity Murray

Nose
A hit of stewed fruits, plum jam and golden syrup with burnt orange and mixed spice. Juniper and traditional gin notes follow.

Palate
Full and mouth-wateringly juicy. Well balanced with rich citrus fruit flavours mingling with brown sugar and ginger.

Finish
Warm and spicy with a citrus edge cutting through the sweetness.

Comments
A well-made sloe gin with oodles of fruitiness. Perfect for sipping with or without ice, or in a flute topped with sparkling wine.

Score

9.1
