It is produced by nine carefully selected botanicals. Juniper berries, coriander seed and angelica root form the classic foundation for London Dry-style Gin. Then Cotswold lavender is added from nearby Snowshill and bay leaves. The citrus element comes from freshly-peeled lime and pink grapefruit zest. The final botanicals are cardamom seed and black peppercorn, to give a hint of spice.
Nose: Fresh notes of grapefruit with earthy coriander backed-up by sweet, piney juniper. A hint of perfumed Cotswold lavender.
Palate: Clean, pine juniper spice with fresh citrussy grapefruit. A touch of dryness from the angelica root, with eucalyptus notes from bay leaf. Subtle lime and lavender.
Finish: Clean and balanced. Juniper, citrus and some cooling notes from bay leaf and cardamom.
Delicious sipped over ice, this gin also stands up very well to tonic.
