Tasting Notes

Nose

Sweetness with plenty of citrus — familiar juniper paired with fresh citrus peel and delicate herbal touches, subtle warmth of spice without heaviness, lively and inviting

Palate

Citrus and cardamom standing out — crisp entry with citrus lift, midpalate developing into gentle herbaceous layers and light spice, juniper central yet not overpowering, balance toward clarity of flavour, clean and readable

Finish

Mostly dry and slightly resinous — pine, lemon zest and faint peppery warmth fading gracefully, juniper lasting cleanly, angelica root providing earthy depth, the pharmacist's precision evident in the composed conclusion

Expert Review

7/10

Created by Yvan Vindevogel, a Belgian pharmacist who wanted to hark back to gin's medicinal history. Named after the fictional Mr. Copperhead, an alchemist searching for the elixir of life. Just five botanicals — juniper, cardamom, orange peel, angelica and coriander — distilled with the precision of a pharmaceutical chemist. Clean, balanced and clear on the palate. Proof that five well-chosen botanicals can outperform fifteen mediocre ones.
