NOSE

This gin gently tells you it’s a gin. It doesn’t say it too loudly but you know. It’s not harsh or sharp but soft, gentle and aromatic. It hints at what you’re expecting and so it should, but it’s a little shy on coming forward. It doesn’t want to scare you but it’s intriguing and teases a little. ‘Can I smell… I can. Is that… no surely not, how did they do that?”

PALATE

This in itself is a little journey. Waves of the flavours show themselves one after the other or are they all together? There’s the citrus or was it? Wait a little bit… Yes the hint of orange, but only a hint. Where’s the oak? That was it or was that the smoke. Oh very subtle. They’re all there and the usuals of course. Is this Gin? Are you sure? It tastes so different. Great combo. Lovely finish. I can do that again!”

OVERALL

Pour over ice, and let the gin’s bold flavours steal the spotlight. Finish with a twist of orange peel to bring out that citrus edge, and enjoy a Negroni that’s as daring as it is delicious!
