Tasting Notes

Nose

Summer meadow with juniper and citrus — icing sugar sweetness with berry undertone

Palate

Classic juniper with berry jam sweetness — icing sugar, spearmint touch, complex and layered with gorse and samphire adding coastal character

Finish

Long with lime, cucumber notes and coriander spice — intriguingly extended, inviting the second sip

First Impressions

Conker Dorset Dry uses ten Jurassic Coast botanicals — marsh samphire, elderberries, gorse flowers — with British wheat spirit and New Forest spring water. Slightly less dry than strict London Dry, with bright freshness.

Tasting

The nose is summer meadow with juniper. On the palate, classic juniper with berry jam and gorse-samphire coastal character. The finish is long and intriguing.

The Bottom Line

Conker Dorset Dry earns a 7 for Jurassic Coast terroir in gin. The samphire, elderberry and gorse give genuine local character. Best with elderflower tonic.
