Review and Tasting

Sampled on 13/08/2019

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Pungent fresh piney juniper and lemon peel with fragrant black tea leaves.

Taste:

Superbly clean, faintly sweet and with a mellow mouthfeel that masks this gin's generous 46% alc./vol strength. Pleasing citrus, floral (violet) and black tea notes.

Aftertaste:

Pine and black tea linger on the long, lightly spiced finish.

Overall:

Proudly juniper-forward with elegantly integrated botanical complexity, this is a very fresh and refreshing artisan gin with underlying black tea, citrus and floral notes.
