Tasting Notes
"The heather is present, but not domineering on the aroma and is difficult to suss out as you taste. The juniper is still the king in that department with coriander just hiding in the background. The gin is rich and round on your palate and a fair bit oily, but not very bitter. It is a fine, albeit, not exactly exciting gin and the heather could be taken up several more notches."
