Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh and balanced with citrus and floral notes — both citrus-sweet and peppery with distinctive floral aroma
Palate
Soft and rich with spices and citrus — smoother than traditional London Drys, rich juniper and citrus notes with baobab adding body
Finish
Long and subtle with herbs, cocoa and candied lemon peels fading gently
Expert Review
7.5/10A tribute to English distilling heritage and African botanical beauty — baobab fruit (the Tree of Life) and Cape gooseberry alongside classic London Dry ingredients. Johnny Neill's most personal gin.
