Tasting Notes
Nose
A cavalcade of spice and fruit – earthy juniper and citrusy ginger are joined by candied apples. Spice sits heavy at the back, with lighter sweet and floral notes dancing on top.
Palate
Dry and spicy, with the juniper and coriander again leading the way. Some candied notes push through the spice, but the spice wins. Spiced fruit bread and sherbet lemon notes develop
Finish
Apple skin and lingering spice.
Comment
A rich and earthy gin with the fruity spirit complemented by spicy juniper. It has enough weight to cut through cocktails and enough complexity to stand up in a Martini.
