Nose: Intriguing. This is quite heavily perfumed. The floral notes are nicely tamed by a thin layer of crisp lemon.

Palate: That perfumed jasmine is quite all-encompassi­ng at first sip, but the combinatio­n of citrus in there has stopped it becoming too much. This reminds me of a less zingy lemon posset covered in decorative petals, which leave a lingering floral hint.

Finish: Rounded out by the remaining jasmine.

Comments: Really well done and a very pleasing gin to drink.

Nose: Dusky floral notes on the nose; delicate, but revealing themselves more and more as the gin opens up in the glass with hints of crisp citrus, too.

Palate: Warm citrus to start; juicy and jammy with a hint of creaminess. The middle of the palate is more typical with juniper and soft spice. A floral flourish leads back to lemon citrus flavours.

Finish: A clean finish with notes of mandarin before dry, floral notes of the jasmine.

Comments: Delicate, but with good flavour intensity. Would work well in a White Lady.
