Nose
Rose blush in colour with gentle, fruity aromas that build to a crescendo of jamminess.
Palate
A touch of salinity develops into leafy notes before moving onto raspberry and strawberry flavours, ripe and juicy, followed by a dash of spicy coriander and oily, resinous juniper.
Finish
Back to fruit, with hints of peach and nectarine as well as hibiscus and rose.
Comments
An exciting gin that brings in fruit flavour without any of the sweetness and really takes the drinker on a journey. Delightful!

Bethany Whymark
Nose
Lemony citrus and coriander, pine notes, a floral touch of rosewater, and strawberry sweetness. Like macerated fruit topping a pavlova, with a hint of cake batter.
Palate
Sweet rhubarb and fragrant spice notes, like frying seeds, with touches of Turkish delight and a building warmth.
Finish
The fruity, strawberry sweetness clings on, with pine and a warm tingle.
Comments
The sweetness in this would pair well with a tart citrus or floral tonic.
