David T. Smith
Nose
Elegant, with aromas of liquorice
and the soft florals of chamomile
and meadowsweet.
Palate
Luxurious and silky in texture, with a splash of sweetness. Candied angelica along with fresh notes of spearmint – this is leafy and crisp.
Finish
Sweet pepper on the finish, along with more herbal menthol notes.
Comments
A refreshing gin that would work well when used in a Gin Julep or Basil Smash.
Score
8.3
Bethany Whymark
Nose
A slightly meaty note like Serrano ham, with lavender, ripe peach and apricot. Creaminess mingles with baking spices and aniseed hints, like a spiced crème brûlée.
Palate
Leafy herbs, plant stems and a touch of grape acidity, with oily juniper and citrus. Earthy liquorice and angelica roots. The texture is divine.
Finish
It fades slowly with a touch of strawberry sweetness and piney juniper.
Comments
An exciting little number that I’d like to sip in a Martini and get to know better.
