Tasting Notes

Nose

Clean juniper — fresh and crisp, bitter orange adding citrus brightness, star anise providing a subtle anise note

Palate

Juniper-led and dry — clean and balanced, bitter orange brightness, star anise adding subtle sweetness, angelica earthiness, the particularly dry designation earned on the palate

Finish

Crisp and dry — juniper persisting, clean close, no sweetness, particularly dry to the last

First Impressions

Savage Particularly Dry is made at Thames Distillers — one of London's most experienced gin operations. A handful of botanicals — angelica, bitter orange, and star anise — keep the spirit crisp and, as the name promises, particularly dry.

Tasting

Juniper, angelica, bitter orange, and star anise. Clean juniper nose. Dry palate with citrus and subtle anise. Crisp dry finish.

The Bottom Line

Savage earns a 7 — for drinkers who want their gin dry. Thames Distillers' expertise ensures quality. At £38.
