As the name suggests, this gin is made in collaboration with Michelin star chef and TV presenter, James Martin. Distilled in small batches with 11 botanicals:

organic juniper, coriander, angelica, orris root, ginger, lemongrass, pine, dried Valencia orange peel, Limoncello Lemon zest, and two other "secret ingredients."

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 28/02/2022

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Nutty musky angelica root and piney juniper dominate with zesty citrus and ginger.

Taste:

Pine fresh juniper with assertive spice, including ginger. Bright zesty freshness.

Aftertaste:

Piney juniper with rooty herbal notes and subdued zesty citrus. The finish leads me to suspect that one of the two "secret ingredients" is liquorice.

Overall:

A generous concentration of botanicals results in a full-flavoured gin that's well suited to G&Ts. Indeed, its flavour is so generous that you may want to pour a little less than when making a G&T with other gins. That assertive flavour makes this gin less suited to general cocktail use.
