Nose
Juniper leading — bright cherry and almond, subtle coriander and angelica adding complexity, the Marasca's distinctive tartness
Palate
Tart lightly tannic cherry — dry gin botanicals lifted by sweet jammy fruit, delicate almond, peppery cardamom spice, firm and dry, integrating without becoming sweet or cloying
Finish
Long, fruity, spicy — the Marasca cherry's sour quality persisting, dry juniper, a cherry gin for gin lovers not cherry lovers
Expert Review

— Maraschino Meets Gin
From the masters of maraschino comes a London Dry with genuine sour cherry character. It's fruity without being sweet, tart without being sharp. A unique proposition at 37.5%.

— Italian Cherry Charm
The sour cherry character is unmistakably Luxardo — rich, tart, and genuine. At 37.5% ABV it's on the lighter side, but the flavour intensity compensates. Makes a cracking Negroni variation.

Nobody does cherries like Luxardo, and this gin proves it. The sour cherry is absolutely stunning — vivid, authentic, and perfectly balanced against the London Dry gin base. A genuine masterpiece at 37.5%.
