Expert Review
7/10From The Black Bottle Distillery in Wallingford, Oxfordshire — unusually made from fermented malted barley rather than neutral grain spirit. Lavender, clove, and vanilla alongside triple citrus. The barley base adds a distinctive malty richness. Fruity, floral, and refreshingly original.
