Tasting Notes
Nose
Sharp grapefruit with soft sugar — clean and fresh with coastal Highland aromatics
Palate
Lovely and light with citrus caressing without overwhelming — grapefruit without bitterness thanks to no pith, lemon verbena citrus notes, slight floral warmth from cinnamon
Finish
Sweetness noticed only at the end — adding balance to the gin rather than dominating, fresh and invigorating
Expert Review
7/10Rock Rose's Old Tom with pink grapefruit and lemon verbena — no pith bitterness, just clean citrus caressing the tastebuds. Sweetness noticed only at the finish, adding balance rather than dominance.
