Nose
Clean and lightly complex — subtle juniper, citrus peel brightness, the restraint of a well-aged recipe
Palate
Perfect balance between alcohol and botanical nuance — juniper, citrus, grains of paradise providing gentle heat, the botanicals speaking clearly through the triple distillation
Finish
Fresh and personal — an abundance of toasted almonds, the signature that distinguishes Rives from every other Spanish gin, dry and moreish
