David

Nose: A reasonably gentle nose - the higher ABV closes up the aromas somewhat - but there are delicate notes of vanilla and pine blossom. Palate: A good, thick texture with plenty of juniper up-front: crisp with a sparkle of pine. A little citrus-forward coriander and spice develop towards the end.finish: Oily citrus on the finish with a little bit of warmth and some cracked black pepper. Comments: An intense gin that opens up when mixed. It’s great in a Gin & Tonic, but could also stand up well to mixing with stronger flavours like fruit juice.

Nose: It smells like you’d imagine a gin would. I appreciate these are diverse gin-times we’re living in, but sometimes you can’t go wrong with forward notes of juniper and citrus.

Palate: Juniper and a rich, sweet, berry note are the foremost notes, but its vibrant. Someone is cooking summer fruit pies in the background.

Finish: Long, perhaps not surprising given the ABV. Herbal and with a little mintiness.

Comments: Could hold its own in most mixed drinks, but one of those ever-growing number of sipping gins.
