Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh and aromatic, with an almost menthol-like brightness from the juniper and Scots pine. Hints of citrus and cinnamon add depth and warmth.
Palate
A beautifully balanced mix of pine and spice, with a resinous freshness complemented by peppery warmth, coriander, and sweet citrus undertones. Subtle hints of gingerbread, nutmeg, and a touch of chilli heat create complexity and depth.
Finish
Long, clean, and lingering, with the bold pine and juniper essence persisting throughout. A gentle cinnamon warmth rounds off this uniquely aromatic and intensely flavourful gin.
