Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh green pine forest, sage, thyme, and faint swimming pool camphor — assertive and unapologetic
Palate
Bitter resinous pine with sage, peppery basil, coriander, fresh parsley and a curious chewing gum note
Finish
Lingering bitter sappy pine with a spicy peppery bite from coriander and sage, and dark chocolate bitterness
Expert Review
7.5/10A muscular 47% London Dry with Lake District spring water, eight botanicals, and a boldly piney, sage-driven character that rewards those who like their gin uncompromising.
