Tasting notes :

Nose: Classic London dry gin with pine, lavender and lemon/lime zest but with fresh coriander and lightly floral parma violet aromas. Fragrant, slightly floral hop-like/celery notes suggest the use of angelica seeds as well as angelica root - nutty, damp wood (sadly the botanical recipe has not been revealed).

Palate: Fresh, light and floral yet classic in style with assertive piney juniper. Sweet citrus oil notes are initially very evident and remain present throughout the palate.

Finish: Very clean with light lingering spice. Complex, balanced and interesting.
