Nose
Sweet with plenty of citrus — cardamom standing out alongside orange peel, sugary notes, clean and inviting
Palate
Juniper and cardamom fighting for first place — a real hit of both on the palate, angelica providing earthy depth, coriander adding warmth, orange peel brightness, the five botanicals each speaking clearly through the minimalist recipe
Finish
Juniper lasting — cardamom warmth persisting, clean and dry, the pharmacist's precision evident in the balance
Expert Review
8/10Created in 2013 by pharmacist Yvan Vindevogel, who discovered the link between gin's medicinal origins and his own profession. Named for Mr. Copperhead, an alchemist searching for the elixir of life. Just five botanicals — juniper, coriander, angelica, cardamom, and orange peel. Gold at the 2016 Gin Masters.
