Tasting Notes

Nose

Clean, fresh, herbaceous — citrus leading into floral bouquet, pink pepper, intensive forest notes, the 27 botanicals creating unexpected harmony

Palate

Smooth and balanced — juniper, citrus, and spice, gentle sweetness, the forest note going smoothly over the tongue, powerful yet not spiritous, the 27 botanicals achieving what lesser recipes cannot: harmony from complexity

Finish

Long and refreshing — lingering juniper and citrus, coniferous aromas, best with a thin cucumber slice as the makers recommend

Expert Review

7/10

Twenty-seven botanicals took two years to perfect — many foraged from Hanover's outskirts including elderflower and spruce shoots. The name combines 'Cucumber' and 'Cumberland', the title held by British monarchs from the Hanover dynasty. Not a cucumber gin despite the name — a harmonious forest-fresh gin.
