Bethany

Nose: Sweet anise note of liquorice. Angelica, coriander, and cardamom, accompanie­d by a creamy woodiness. Hints of lemon and

Earl Grey tea.

Palate: Liquorice and spices sweeten with the fragrance of rose. Then spicier aniseed notes, cardamom pods, and piney juniper becoming more prominent.

Finish: A mentholani­seed finish with notes of juniper, fennel, and a touch of citrus.

Comments: This has a lovely character. A touch of floral tonic could play up the sweeter notes.

8.0

David

Nose: A pleasant and complex array of citrus, including lemon and orange, as well as gingery lemongrass. Aromatic cocoa powder and dried violets are there, too.

Palate: A sweet, almost aquavit-like start with notes of caraway, fennel, and anise, before liquorice and orris with delightful­ly woody pine.

Finish: Dry, with a floral flourish and lingering woody pine.

Comments: An intriguing and delightful gin that is an absolute pleasure to sip neat.
