David T. Smith
Nose
Bright, resinous and piney with plenty of summery citrus – a ray of sunshine.
Palate
Well-rounded texture with a good, balanced character. There are notes of juniper, coriander, floral rose, peppery spice, and a little of the citrus from the nose. Cleanly distilled with a pleasant and enticing touch of sweetness.
Finish
Hints of sweet spice accompanied by long, lingering notes of pine and peppercorns.
Comments
An excellent example of a classic gin that ticks all of the boxes; it would be superb in a Martini.
Score
8.9
Bethany Whymark
Nose
Juniper and a touch of aniseed. Zingy, freshly squeezed lemon juice, with bright floral notes and a touch of salinity too.
Palate
More fresh lemony notes and piney juniper and a continuing salty savouriness. Very clean and smooth.
Finish
A lingering note of lemon sherbet, with resinous juniper and peppery heat.
Comments
With its clean texture and classic flavours, this would make a mightly fine G&T or Martini.
