Bethany
Nose: A big whack of freshly squeezed lemon juice, almost mixed with fresh crêpes and sugar, followed by a vinous note, light juniper and a sweet chocolate hint.
Palate: The lemon gets sweeter as time goes on, but piney juniper and that wine note keep it in check. A little sprinkling of baking spice too.
Finish: Drying and warming, with lingering lemon and spice giving it a Middle Eastern feel.
Comments: This is a very clean and freshfeeling sip thanks to all that citrus.
David
Nose: A bountiful supply of plump, jammy citrus notes, in particular grapefruit; lightly fragrant and inviting as well.
Palate: A delicate and elegant spirit: silky smooth and sippable. There is an array of citrus and coriander notes, alongside more leafy, resinous flavours.
Finish: Oily citrus, including grapefruit and orange, with a gentle dose of sweet violets in there.
Comments: A rather gentle gin that would be good in a Martini, but might be lost when it is paired with stronger flavours.
