Suggested Garnishes/Serve:

G&T: Ice & just a splash of Tonic, (don't drown the gin flavours). Rim the glass with a wedge of Red or Pink grapefruit and then garnish with a slice.

Botanicals:

Juniper, Coriander, Angelica Root, Orris root, Cubeb, Bitter Orange Peel, Liquorice, Cassia Bark

and locally sourced Sugar Kelp

Tasting notes:

Neat:

Nose:bold, heady and vibrant, singing out from the glass like a sirens call. Lavender floral juniper in the top notes with a savoury, herbal undertow.

Palate: The lead is a strong floral and piney juniper. This is quickly followed by dry spice almost like fresh nutmeg (this must be a combination of the citrus peel and cassia) rounding out in the linger to a full sweetness with grapefruit notes.

With Tonic:


Nose: Well-defined juniper note with pine needles, immediately followed by the fresh citrus notes of bitter orange, lime and grapefruit. Develops a complex floral note of rose and wallflowers with crushed green herbs, coriander and gooseberry all underpinned by mixed spice. Sugar kelp adds to the complexity and richness with a dry maritime note.

Palate: Refreshing gin with good balance between the bitter juniper and pine and the sweet fruit flavours of mango, grapefruit and orange. A green herb flavour has developed with crushed coriander. Distinctive and smooth with a dry, flinty taste.

Finish: Overall a long, clean finish. As the juniper and citrus peel notes fade away, sweet vanilla and black pepper remain with a gentle reminder of the sea.
