Bethany

Nose: A big hit of citrus and spice, with cardamom, coriander, aniseed, lime and mandarin. Earthy and dusky notes alongside fresh pine.

Palate: Beautiful texture. It unfolds slowly with more sweet orange, then drying spice with cardamom and turmeric notes, and finally piney juniper. There’s a grainy, savoury note as well.

Finish: Juniper, spices and lime cling on in the lengthy finish.

Comments: This is well balanced and intriguing in flavour. You could play up its citrus notes in a Gimlet.

David

Nose: A touch of foreshots followed by aromas of cocoa leaf, mint, and lemon verbena.

Palate: This gin has a good integration of alcohol and botanicals, although there is a gradually growing spirituous warmth. On the palate, notes of citrus leaf sit alongside a floral, earthy character.

Finish: A lingering oiliness with hints of liquorice root.

Comments: A straightforward classic gin. I would have liked some additional complexity, but it should mix well.
