Tasting Notes
"Orkney Gin Company Johnsmas starts on notes of vanilla and woody mint, as well as rosewater, cherry blossom, and lavender. Vanilla returns on the palate, accompanied by a whiff of orange, as well as lychee or yuzu, and cracked black peppercorns. Not the most traditional of gins, but it works very well."
