Tasting Notes

Nose

Cumin, juniper, and kaffir lime — dancing from the surface, immediately aromatic, the Indian spice influence unmistakable

Palate

Highly aromatic — reminiscent of Indian cooking spices, warming and hearty, spicy and playful, cumin and ginger playing with juniper and cardamom, the 45% providing intensity and body

Finish

Long and coating — essential oils retained at 45%, intriguing spice notes persisting, supported by juniper and coriander familiarity, a finish that makes you crave a curry

Expert Review

7/10

Created to complement an Indian menu at Peebles Hydro hotel in the Scottish Borders — kaffir lime leaf, cumin, and cardamom working together to create the aromatic flavours of spiced cuisine. A 45% gin that retains essential oils for a long, coating, spice-laden finish.
