Country: ENGLAND Style: London Dry Price per bottle: Availability: UK

Bethany

Nose: Quite a subtle nose that eventually reveals some citrus and juniper notes and a little florality.

Palate: A little sweetness, like lemon-flavoured boiled sweets, reveals itself on the palate with more juniper and angelica hints.

Finish: There’s a pleasant spicy dryness in the finish, which wraps the tongue along with some piney notes.

Comments: A subtly flavoured and clean London dry that could be used effectively in a variety of classic drinks.

David

Nose: Green juniper, spice, and savoury, slightly curried aromas of ginger, cumin, and cilantro.

Palate: More solid juniper notes upfront that are green and resinous. Beautiful spiced notes then follow, but the palate is more restrained than the nose.

Finish: Hints of biscuity spice and a dash of sweetness, along with a touch of dry grapefruit.

Comments: A well-made, classic-style gin that nonetheless has a distinctive personality; lime would work well with this, so I’d suggest trying it in a Gimlet.
