Description

• Colour: Light gold.

• Aroma: Presents notes of juniper and creamy orange essence with a touch of juicy tangerine.

• Palate: Offers a slow kick of juniper, fennel, nutmeg, lemon peel, and coriander.

• Body/Finish: The body is described as more botanically intense and sweeter than a London Dry. It develops into a smooth, soft, and lingering sweetened finish.

• Stylistic Notes: Based on an 1891 recipe using eight botanicals, it is a classic, mildly sweeter style. It is well-balanced and respectful of the history of gin and the craft of distilling.

• Varietal Composition: Made with a base of 100% grain spirit.

Food Pairing

• The gin's sweeter, spicier, and citrus profile makes it versatile for pairing.

• It pairs well with contrasting flavours like salty, fatty foods such as smoked salmon canapés or gravlax, where the smokiness complements the flavour profile.

• The sweetness and spice notes from botanicals like nutmeg and fennel also align well with richer savoury dishes, such as lamb kofta or a rich Indian curry.

• For a simple pairing, a cheese plate featuring strong aged cheeses like Manchego or Stilton, or creamy cheese such as goat cheese, offers a nice contrast to the gin's botanicals.
