David T. Smith

Nose
A gentle, modest nose with hints of lemon and orange, along with a touch of blossom and coriander.

Palate
An incredibly smooth and sippable texture with initial flavours of dry juniper that are restrained, but evident, and gradually crescendo, bringing with them bright notes of citrus. 

Finish
There is a light butteriness, with earthy angelica and a pleasant lift of citrus.

Comments
A classic, well-made London Dry gin; one for the traditionalists. It’d be cracking in an ice-cold Martini with a lemon.

Score

8.5

Nose
Hedgerow fruits alongside oily juniper, and a slightly savoury herbal note. Hints of lemon and pineapple-like sweetness.

Palate
Lovely texture. Fairly classic with stronger citrus notes, more big juniper, coriander earthiness and a lingering touch of fruity sweetness.

Finish
A hint of black pepper reveals itself on the finish, which is fairly swift and leaves a bit of warmth there.

Comments
Nothing to complain about here – it’s a very decently made London Dry that would make a lovely partner for tonic.

Score

8.4
