TROPICAL CITRUS

Cambodia

"Rich, indulgent, and resinous on the nose with accents of exotic spice and lime leaf. There's menthol pepper on the palate, with notes of eucalyptus and cubeb berries, before a long finish. This gin has a really fresh character that would be thoroughly at home in a Gimlet."

"A sweet and jammy nose that is especially fruity; so much so that it's reminiscent of freshly baked jam tarts. Fresh Victorian plum notes on the palate continue this fruity and succulent flavour profile. There's good alcohol integration and a balanced sweetness, all before a long, complex finish."

Damson Gin
England
"Well made and despite very little sweetness added, this has managed to bring out enough natural sweetness and fruit pluminess from the damsons to make this a well balanced gin. There is a slight dryness to the finish which a little sugar could soften, but overall really well created product - proper gin rather than a liqueur."

"Lots of warm baking spice alongside rich cherry and almond notes. The palate has a gentle sweetness combined with the spice from the nose, but also a good background of classic gin botanical flavours and a dry finish."
