Nose
Making me feel very autumnal, like a rhubarb crumble covered in vanilla custard, with chunks of stem ginger kicking through.
Palate
The crumble notes continue here, with a little more citrus and clean-cut juniper emerging through the fruity notes.
Finish
The rhubarb note gradually mellows, with stem ginger cookies and a little juniper.
Comments
Sweet and funky, it’s very tasty and manages to avoid leaning to the artificial side of things.
Score
8.1

Nose
Pineapple foam sweets and nectarines with yoghurt. A peachy sweetness like Refreshers. A hint of crème anglaise. Some darker hints of blackberry.
Palate
Blackcurrant jam tarts, with the pastry slightly caught on the edges. Poached apricots and crème fraiche. Sweet glace cherries, and the syrup from tinned peaches.
Finish
A sticky sweetness of peach conserve and touches of sweet spice.
Comments
Almost liqueur-like in its sweetness and viscosity – there’s room for a bit more gin character to shine through.
