Tasting Notes

Nose

Pleasant dried spice — nutmeg, cardamom and coriander, the baobab fruit adding a sherbet-sweet citrus quality, warm and inviting, distinctly African

Palate

Spice notes with mild fruity kumquat character — citrusy baobab providing natural sweetness and tanginess, coriander and cinnamon warmth, rosemary herbal depth, coarse salt adding a savoury mineral quality, juniper providing gin backbone

Finish

Citrusy and clean — the baobab's sherbet quality lingering, cinnamon warmth, rosemary fading, moderate length, the African botanicals providing a character that European gins cannot replicate

Expert Review

7/10

Distilled in KwaZulu-Natal with seven African botanicals sourced from across the continent — from Ghana to Zambia. The defining ingredient is baobab fruit from the 'tree of life': enormous, bulbous trees producing oblong fruits that taste sweet and citrusy, almost like sherbet. Gold at the 2022 San Francisco Wine & Spirits Competition. Dried spice nose with kumquat and citrus finish. Africa's subtly tangy tree of life in every glass.
