Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich and jammy like afternoon tea — aromatic elderflower and zesty lemon, piney juniper with coriander and stalky elderflower

Palate

Damp juniper and wet pine boughs leading to genuine elderflower and rose, traditionally gin-like mid-palate with orange and citrus rind — restrained sweetness with crisp dryness

Finish

Full elderflower assault — bright, fresh, one part floral and one part vegetal, drying and medium-length with tart berry and redcurrant notes

First Impressions

Gordon's with a Spot of Elderflower adds fragrant elderflower to the classic Gordon's recipe — creating a fresh, summery gin designed for warm-weather G&Ts. At 37.5% and around £15, it targets the same accessible market as the other Gordon's flavoured variants.

Tasting

The nose is rich and jammy with elderflower and zesty lemon. On the palate, juniper leads with genuine elderflower and rose, orange and citrus rind — restrained sweetness with crisp dryness. The finish is a full elderflower assault — bright and fresh, one part floral and one part vegetal, drying with berry and redcurrant notes.

The Bottom Line

Gordon's Elderflower earns a 6.5 for a summery, accessible elderflower gin where the finish is the star — bright, fresh, and almost St. Germain-like in its floral intensity. At around £15, affordable summer elegance.
