Review and Tasting

Sampled on 02/02/2012

Appearance

Crystal clear.

Aroma

Clean, aromatic but delicate nose with fragrant citrus notes rising over coriander and piney juniper.

Taste

Clean, very soft and well balanced palate with juniper very evident but not dominating citrus, cardamom and coriander. Liquorice and vanilla add discernable sweeten and enhance the parma violet and tea flavours of the bitter orris root.

Aftertaste

The finish is much drier than the palate with lasting juniper, citrus and liquorice flavours. We loved this gin neat so tried it in both a Dry Martini and G&T. Sadly we found it just too soft to stand up to 1:5 vermouth and a double G&T.
