This is a fresh, clean, vibrant gin – the nose gets laundry flapping over bright flower meadows and juniper bushes; also, zesty orange peel and sherbet lemons, blackcurrant, coriander, orris root and liquorice. Some of us, added water and found it turned quite soapy but one sensible panellist added tonic and described it as ‘a delightful, fresh, vivacious and characterful gin’ – adding ‘whoever takes water in gin?’ – wise guy!
