Nose
Spicier than standard Pickering's with strong fennel, clear clove, cardamom and cinnamon in the background — warm and aromatic
Palate
Luscious and thick, with chewy anise and fennel dominating, clear juniper with lemon zest and coriander, almost mince pie-like cinnamon, clove and fruit character
Finish
Cardamom, coriander, clove and cinnamon spice leading to a crisp refreshing long finish — festively sweet with a crackle of peppery juniper on the tail
Expert Review
8/10The complete, unmodified 1947 Bombay recipe — spicier, sweeter, and more intense than standard Pickering's, with fennel, anise, and warming cinnamon creating an almost mince-pie character.
