Tasting Notes

Nose

Powerful juniper — peppercorn and coriander bolstering, juicy citrus sweetness from fresh grapefruit and orange, lemongrass adding aromatic lift

Palate

Explosive botanical medley — juniper at the fore with peppercorn heat, citrus sweetness, fennel seed's intense herbaceous elements, wormwood adding a subtle bitter edge, lemongrass and lime leaf providing aromatic Thai-influenced notes

Finish

Herbaceous and peppery — fennel and wormwood providing complexity, citrus fading, the explosive name earning its reputation

First Impressions

Molotov from Yorkshire is designed as a taste explosion in cocktails — twelve botanicals including wormwood (the absinthe botanical), lemongrass, lime leaf, red peppercorn, fennel seed, and fresh grapefruit. The name promises intensity; the botanical bill delivers.

Tasting

Twelve botanicals including wormwood and lemongrass. Powerful juniper nose. Explosive palate with fennel, peppercorn, and citrus. Herbaceous peppery finish.

The Bottom Line

Molotov earns a 7 — the wormwood and lemongrass additions create genuine cocktail versatility. A Yorkshire gin that lives up to its explosive name. At £38.
