Soft juniper, lime and orange rind flavours lead to a peppery finish with a subtle fennel fragrance on the nose, whilst on the palate there’s a ripe & sweet aniseed start, with bold citrus flavours, plenty of cardamom & green apple blending into a warm, mouth-watering finish.
Juniper-driven with bright, fresh lime peel in place of the more traditional coriander seed, this makes for a gin that is at once elegant and playful, invigorating and mellow. Verdant lime and bay laurel greet the nose, while the delightful mouthfeel and a delectable, subtle sweetness come from the addition of London honey collected from local beehives, imparting a creaminess that bestows floral notes of lime blossom and jasmine. This mellows the refreshing, earthy menthol notes delivered by lingering hints of bay and angelica, which in turn beckons an elegant finish of black and green cardamom with a tickle of soft spice and nectar from fresh red raspberry leaf.
