Bethany

Nose: Peppery, herbal warmth, floral notes and just a hint of tea leaves. Juicy orange, sappy pine, and a sweet muskiness.

Palate: More freshly juiced orange and juniper with peppery spice, sweet woody notes and a little bitter pink grapefruit.

Finish: The pink grapefruit notes get stronger, supported by drying spice.

Comments: A very pleasant gin with nice accents to the classic character. I can see it standing up well to a mix with fruit juice.

David

Nose: Liquorice, as well as cedar shavings – a neat precursor to a deep, resinous juniper aroma with a dash of floral honey.

Palate: Eucalyptus and menthol fill the mouth with more woody cedar and pine, as well as spruce and slightly jammy berry notes. Exceptionally green and lusciously leafy.

Finish: Notes reminiscent of a pine forest are joined by cranberry and a peek of rose petals.

Comments: A fascinating gin: there is so much to it, it almost defies description. It is well worth trying.
