Bethany

Nose: Aroma is botanically intense and oily. Notes of juniper, orange citrus, and earthy tones of cinnamon and a pinch of coriander.

Palate: It has a lick of heat and a slightly waxy texture. Good juniper notes with zesty citrus peels, and spice and sweetness from cinnamon and liquorice.

Finish: It leaves you with some lingering juniper and citrus around the mouth.

Comments: A lovely classic character and nice spicy warmth. I can see it making a great Negroni.

David

Nose: A crisp nose with earthy spice and juniper: clean and classic.

Palate: This gin has an elegant intensity: there is a little salinity to the mouthfeel, but it’s not too oily, with notes of citrus and coriander and a decidedly chocolatey character.

Finish: Quite creamy on the finish, with a note of green juniper and lingering pepper with a lovely, gentle warmth.

Comments: A great example of a classic London Dry; a good all-rounder for a gin and tonic, Negronis and Martinis.
