Review and Tasting
Sampled on 23/03/2015
Appearance:
Clear, straw yellow.
Aroma:
Pungent black cardamom and nutmeg with buttery oak, oxidised wine, cinnamon and burnt citrus zest.
Taste:
Piney juniper fights with black cardamom and nutmeg for attention with cinnamon (cassia), sage (coriander seeds), liquorice, black pepper and dry oak.
Aftertaste:
Cinnamon, nutmeg, black cardamom and black spice with lingering piney juniper and rooty liquorice. Overall: The 'London dry gin' statement on the screen printed bottle is sure to mislead many who might find Amber a tad too spicy. I love the idea of finishing in what we presume are ex-Noilly Prat casks, but feel the delicate wine notes imparted have been overwhelmed by excessive spice.
