David T. Smith

Nose
Initially quiet, but jammy notes of hibiscus gradually unfold.

Palate
A complex and changing palate that is fruity up-front with black and red berry notes. These are followed by a fair amount of earthy, liquorice sweetness balanced by the flavours of other, classic gin botanicals. 

Finish
Gentle citrus and piney coriander.

Comments
A fruity gin, but one that doesn’t overplay its hand. It has a neatly balanced sweetness that gives it great versatility for mixing.

Score

8.4

Nose
Prominent, zesty pink grapefruit. A savoury biscuit note, like oatcakes. Rose petals and a touch of strawberry.

Palate
More pink grapefruit comes through, followed by a delicate wave of juniper, sweet-earthy angelica and liquorice-like sweetness. Fairly soft texture.

Finish
Medium-length and warming, with a little oily pink grapefruit clinging around the tongue.

Comments
A decently flavoured gin with pleasant zestiness that would make a quaffable gin and tonic.

Score

8.2
