Nose
Juniper backed by sweet pink grapefruit — Darjeeling tea evident and pleasing with fragrant coriander
Palate
Major grapefruit hit building to sweet spice and dry tannic notes — cubeb and cassia spice, superbly clean with nutty balsawood and tea tannins
Finish
Darjeeling tea bringing long dryness — characteristic but not overbearing, balanced by cassia bark sweetness
Expert Review
8/10Darjeeling tea bringing tannic dryness and distinctive character to a pink grapefruit-forward London gin. Superbly clean with nutty balsawood and peppery spice. A gin with no secrets from Bow Wharf.
