Review and Tasting


Sampled on 08/06/2021

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Pungent piney juniper, black tea leaves, and woody angelica with assertive peppery spice.

Taste:

Very generously flavoured and botanically loaded. Juniper leads with black tea and pronounced Timur, Cubeb, and Black Pepper spice. Faint lavender-led floral notes struggle for attention.

Aftertaste:

Long peppery juniper finish.

Overall:

Pronounced spice and concentration of botanicals make this gin much better suited to G&Ts rather than Martinis. The dilution that comes with a long serve allows the tea and subtle floral notes in this very dry gin to shine.
