Tasting Notes

Nose

Confident lively juniper uplifting powerful zesty citrus, with blushing sweet spices underneath and a slightly herbaceous tickle — emphasis on coriander

Palate

Dominant piney juniper up-front with a smooth citrus burst from behind, hints of violet, lemon, black peppercorn, fennel depth — fresh pine forest and lemon zest

Finish

Dry with persistent juniper, sumptuous spice of anise and cardamom, satisfyingly full-bodied with a subtle earthy fennel hint and residual clover oil

Expert Review

8/10

Based on a handwritten Bombay recipe from 1947, distilled in Edinburgh's first dedicated gin distillery in over 150 years — nine botanicals delivering bold juniper, warming spice, and exquisite balance.
