First Impressions
Grasse — the French Riviera town that is the world capital of perfume — lends its flowers to gin. Roses, jasmine, orange blossom, iris, and mimosa from the actual perfumers' flower fields. The 44N is Grasse's latitude. Ultra-premium.
Tasting
Grasse flowers and juniper. Rose and jasmine nose. Floral masterclass palate. Long perfumed finish.
The Bottom Line
Comte de Grasse earns an 8 — gin from the world's perfume capital. At £95, luxury justified by the source of the world's finest florals.
