Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich damson fruit — dark berry with classic juniper notes underneath, vibrant and autumnal

Palate

Rich fruity damson with vibrant dark berry — softer and drier than sloe gin, the full complex flavour of months on the fruit, sweet and jammy

Finish

Damson fruit fading gently — the dryness distinguishing it from sweeter stone fruit liqueurs

First Impressions

Lyme Bay Damson Gin uses hand-picked damsons added frozen to London dry gin — the thawing process draws out flavour and colour over four months of maceration. From Devon's premier winery, using the same fruit expertise that makes their sloe gin the UK's best-seller.

Tasting

The nose shows rich damson with juniper. On the palate, vibrant dark berry with the full complexity of months-long maceration — softer and drier than sloe gin. The finish is gently drying.

The Bottom Line

Lyme Bay Damson earns a 7 for patient Devon fruit craft. The four-month frozen maceration creates flavour that shortcuts cannot achieve, and the drier character sets it apart from sweeter competitors. A versatile autumn spirit from England's finest fruit winery.
