First Impressions
Brecon Rose Petal is another creation from Penderyn's expanded Brecon range — rose petals married with strawberries and tart raspberries over the multi-award-winning Brecon Special Reserve base. At 37.5%, it is designed for refreshing summer drinking.
Tasting
The nose shows rose petal and strawberry — floral and candied with lavender-violet hints. On the palate, refreshing and subtly sweet with clear rose influence and strawberry balance, juniper-vanilla-cassia grounding the vibrancy. The finish carries sunny citrus with lingering rose.
The Bottom Line
Brecon Rose Petal earns a 7 for a well-balanced floral gin where the rose is clear but never overwhelming. The strawberry and raspberry provide fruit sweetness that complements rather than competes with the florals. Best with pink grapefruit and fresh mint.
