Nose
Juniper-led with warm white pepper, strong coriander, sage aromas, and good lemon notes
Palate
Classic London Dry palate initially, then citrus falls away as elderflower emerges, followed by warm ginger and a creamy mouthfeel throughout
Finish
Round, smooth and warm, with surprising delicacy — the pepper found on the nose gives way to soft, lingering elderflower
Expert Review
7.5/10A six-botanical London Dry from the Wemyss whisky family, with elderflower lending a delicate floral distinction to an otherwise classically structured gin.
