Tasting Notes

Nose

Juniper and fennel leading — citrus peel brightness, saffron surprisingly subtle on the nose, more earthy warmth than floral sweetness

Palate

Smooth and finely spiced — the saffron adds a honeyed, musky warmth rather than dominating, fennel providing an anise backbone, juniper staying present throughout, distinguished and characteristic

Finish

Persistent woody juniper — the saffron emerging in a lingering way after all the other botanicals have left, warm and earthy, distinctive

Expert Review

7/10

A French gin with a deep coppery-orange glow — seven botanicals distilled in Dijon's copper still, then infused for a month with Crocus sativus saffron filaments. A colonial-era recipe rediscovered in the Boudier archives from Franco-British trading days in India.
