Dartmouth English Gin

Zoe Chen — Elderflower Dominates

7/10

The English elderflower is beautiful but at 42% ABV it rather overwhelms the juniper and coriander. The Vietnamese black pepper adds interest but the overall profile leans more towards a floral spirit than a gin. Delicate to a fault.

Zara Al-Hassan — English Elderflower Charm

9/10

The honeyed elderflower sweetness is divine — it gives this Plymouth-style gin a quintessentially English character. At 42% ABV the steady juniper build, persistent black pepper warmth, and soft floral entry are beautifully balanced.

Aria Kim — Plymouth Style Elevated

9/10

Dartmouth takes the Plymouth style and adds English elderflower and Vietnamese black pepper to create something special. The soft floral elderflower-chamomile entry at 42% ABV builds to a steady juniper with dry pepper warmth.
