"A strangely generous composition with all elements in lovely balance. Harmonious on the palate with a playful gesture of chili and Earl Grey tea and a light and elegant cooling finish. It goes mad with tonic. Excellent and special."

Gin
United States
"A bright nose of orange with hints of berries behind - slightly reminiscent of chewy sweets - although there's enough in the background to keep it recognisable as a gin. The palate is particularly bold with bright notes of orange, but it nonetheless keeps an underlying current of traditional gin botanical flavours. The orange gradually fades on the finish, but it's a lasting flavour."
