Launched March 2019, this Sipsmith gin capitalises on the popular flavour combination of chocolate and orange with dialled-up juniper and sweetness added by generous liquorice. Distillation with orange blossom and cacao nibs adds flavour before steeping with fresh orange zest prior to bottling.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 08/05/2019

Appearance:

Clear, pale golden amber.

Aroma:

Classic juniper-led London dry gin meets chocolate orange. Zesty marmalade, cacao and orange blossom.

Taste:

Rich candied orange, vanilla and nougat chocolate sit harmoniously with piney juniper and spicy coriander.

Aftertaste:

Pine and ginger spice smoothed by honeyed vanilla.

Overall:

This brilliantly flavoured gin mixes well with tonic, but Sipsmith Orange & Cacao is perhaps more delicious savoured neat straight from the fridge. Or use in place of your regular gin in cocktails such as the White Lady.
