Tasting Notes

Nose

Violet and orris root — green peppercorn, Turkish delight, piney and herbaceous

Palate

Fresh pine and birch — resinous notes developing into a slightly umami quality reminiscent of wasabi, herbaceous and filling the mouth, rosehip and apple sweetness, the 25 forest botanicals creating genuine woodland character

Finish

Lingering floral pepper — gentle and not overpowering, woody and rooty, the forest persisting

First Impressions

Green Man is the world's first spirit in a cardboard bottle — 94% recycled paper, 77% less plastic, 5x lighter, 6x lower carbon footprint. Twenty-five Surrey forest botanicals from Silent Pool Distillers.

Tasting

Twenty-five forest botanicals in a cardboard bottle. Violet and pine nose. Resinous umami palate. Floral pepper finish.

The Bottom Line

Green Man earns a 7 — the cardboard bottle is genuinely revolutionary for sustainability. The 25 forest botanicals deliver woodland character. At £33, the most sustainable gin packaging on Earth.
