Tasting Notes

Nose

Strong and assertive — piney juniper, citrus, the 47% announcing serious intent, maritime freshness

Palate

Tart tangy gooseberry — piney juniper, fragrant citrus of orange and lemon, the 47% bringing out every botanical's full intensity, liquorice root providing sweetness that counterbalances the gooseberry's tartness

Finish

Lingering liquorice sweetness — dry juniper, gooseberry tang persisting, long and warming, the higher proof providing authority

Expert Review

7/10

From Haswell & Hastings in Sussex — a 47% London Dry for those who like punch. The higher ABV brings out the botanicals' full intensity: gooseberry providing tart English fruit character, liquorice root adding lingering sweetness. A quintessentially dry gin inspired by the sea.
