Bethany

Nose: Burnt pastry crust on a lemon meringue pie. Liquorice cream, a hint of toffee sweetness and woody spice. Coriander, juniper, black pepper and a hint of saffron.

Palate: Very light bodied. The juniper, creamy lemon and woody spice notes remain here.

Finish: Sweet-sour lemon and more piney notes as it fades.

Comments: A gin that shines with a light, unshowy character. I’d pop it into a glass with light tonic and see what more it has to show us.

8.2

David

Nose: Comforting baking spice, with chocolate shavings, lemon sorbet, and a wisp of wood smoke.

Palate: A cosy sweetness at the start, reminiscent of Christmas cookies, with ginger, nutmeg, and cassia. This moves onto notes of candied citrus peel, before some biscuity coriander.

Finish: The finish is more floral, with residual coriander lingering on the tongue.

Comments: A gin that has spice, but does not overdo it; it would be at home with ginger ale in a Gin Buck.
