Garden Grown Gin

A lovely delicate, floral drop that smells delightful and tastes divine! Bottle makes a gorgeous vase when you're finished, too.

Nose: Highly fragrant, very crisp and clean. Rose, sage and jasmine are the main aromas but there is also a lavender note, which is odd as it's not one of the listed botanicals (maybe it's another floral I'm smelling - hmm). Some light spice notes provide a background. Palate: A crisp, refreshing arrival focused on juniper, floral notes, subtle citrus and seed spices. The development is sprightly and fresh with a shimmering mild pepper note, but the texture is a contrast, being creamy and silken. Finish: Medium. Fragrant, slightly sweet but drying at the end. No bitterness at all in the aftertaste. The botanicals are exceptionally pure and focused in this gin. The nose is subtle but laser-sharp in definition and the palate is crisp and tangy. There is nothing heavy in the palate and it is delightfully fresh when tasted neat. The only thing I've tasted that is similar is The Botanist. This is a good gin to drink neat over a chip of ice, or with plain soda water. It is delicate and subtle so although it works well in a G&T it can disappear under the weight of a heavy tonic. I thought Fever Tree Mediterranean worked well, but I’d avoid any sort of flavoured tonic. I enjoyed this gin and I came to appreciate it more as I became familiar with the profile. Initially it seemed a little too delicate, but once you develop a taste for it you realize how subtle and refined it is. “Very Good” : 85/100 (4 stars)
