Review and Tasting


Sampled on 16/09/2024

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

A 'soft' nose with subdued juniper, floral violet rose, and generous angelica root imparting attractive nutty balsawood-like notes.

Taste:

Juniper and caraway with mellowing angelica root give this gin a distinctive Nordic cleanness.

Aftertaste:

The long finish is a pleasing continuation of the palate.

Overall:

Invigorating rather than heavy, Almqvist Gin is distinctly Nordic in character without upsetting traditional gin drinkers by straying too far away from the London dry style.
