First Impressions
Boë Apple & Lime adds another fruit expression to the Stirling distillery's range — green apple sweetness and lime tartness over the Carterhead-distilled base. The crystal-clear spirit with a subtle green hue is immediately visually appealing.
Tasting
The nose presents intense lime freshness with floral nuances and a gentle juniper background. On the palate, the entry is zesty and juicy — apple providing natural sweetness while lime lifts the freshness. The combination of tangy citrus-lime with sweet-sour green apple creates a crisp, refreshing drinking experience. The finish is citrus-herbal with finesse.
The Bottom Line
Boë Apple & Lime earns a 6.5 for delivering a bright, refreshing fruity gin at a proper 41.5% ABV. The green apple-lime combination is naturally appealing, and the Boë base provides structure. At around £22, an accessible and crowd-pleasing flavoured gin from Stirling.
