Nose
Floral aromas and subtle, slightly juicy fruity notes. Gradually, wisps of malty notes start to unfurl, too.
Palate
Initial sweetness with flavours of rich rose and fragrant violet, reminiscent of floral cream chocolates. This is accompanied by bright, green juniper and dry angelica.
Finish
Relatively short, but has a pleasant array of fruit flavours: lime, orange, and lemon, even a hint of berry.
Comments
A straight-forward gin with a fun, fruity and floral character. A good match for tonic water or bitter lemon.
Score
7.9

Nose
Very lemony, almost sherbet-like. Peachy foam sweets, floral hints and coriander spiciness. A touch of juniper, if you look for it.
Palate
Juniper notes overtake the citrus with a spicy, earthy background. However, it’s a bit shy in flavour and thin in texture.
Finish
It fades away fairly quickly with a touch of citrus.
Comments
This gin needs a cooling Collins serve or a gin and tonic with lemon in order to calm it down.
