Tasting Notes
Nose
Pine needles and celery with tangerine orange citrus — peppery spice, classic juniper and angelica, subtle coriander at low but precise intensity
Palate
Classic London Dry — piney juniper forward with underlying nuttiness and zesty citrus, soft citrus peel offering balance, late-palate creaminess with eucalyptus and star anise, an honest well-structured gin
Finish
Rather dry with hints of earthy liquorice and angelica root — nutty notes emerging, moderate warmth, peppery bracing exhale with a touch of black liquorice sweetness
Expert Review
7/10Eight botanicals macerated for 24 hours then pot-distilled at Thames Distillers in Clapham by Charles Maxwell — whose family has been distilling since the late 1600s. Named after Hogarth's 1751 satirical engraving and the Gin Act that transformed gin from gutter spirit to genteel drink. Pine needles and celery with tangerine citrus on the nose, classic juniper-forward palate with star anise warmth, dry finish with earthy liquorice.
