Tasting Notes

Nose

Citrus and berry — floral notes, the port cask adding natural amber warmth, the cave environment lending a unique mineral quality

Palate

Bold vanilla from the port cask — citrus brightness, smooth pleasing mouthfeel, the mineral-rich cave water adding a unique mineral dimension, bilberry and meadowsweet from the Brecon Beacons providing Welsh terroir

Finish

Port cask warmth — red fruit hints, vanilla, the cave-aged mineral quality providing a finish unlike any other barrel-aged gin, sophisticated and contemplative
