Review and Tasting


Sampled on 15/07/2012

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Laveder bouquet of original Beefeater is replaced by floral aromas, particuarly hibiscus with blackcurrant berry notes also evident.

Taste:

Less citrussy than is usual for Beefeater with superbly integrated flavours which present as a unified force making it hard to distinguish the individual contributions of the elderflower, hibiscus and blackcurrant that set this gin apart from original Beefeater.

Aftertaste:

Blackberry emerges in a reassuringly predominant piney juniper finish. A master class in gin formulation by Desmond Payne.
