Tasting Notes

Nose

Floral lavender — sweetening juniper, sharper citrus, warming clove percolating throughout, the malted barley base adding an unusual depth

Palate

Fruity and floral — the malted barley base providing a malty richness absent from neutral-spirit gins, lavender florals, citrus brightness from orange, lemon, and lime, vanilla smoothness, clove warmth

Finish

Lingering — floral and spiced, the barley base carrying the botanicals with unusual body, clean and original

Expert Review

7/10

From 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.
