Tasting Notes

Nose

Juniper-centric — citrus notes, spice, berry freshness, the 1639 recipe's character immediately evident

Palate

Rich oily juniper — centre stage, intense citrus top notes, berries mellowing the whole effect, spices providing backbone, a gin from 1639 drinking remarkably well in 2024

Finish

Berry and spice — oak influence mellowing, juniper authority, the coded recipe decoded in the glass

Expert Review

8/10

Master Distiller Jared Brown and drinks historian Anistatia Miller discovered The Distiller of London (1639) — 34 coded formulas for the first modern gins. This recreation is infused with berries and laid to rest in oak. The recipe that gave birth to English gin, decoded and reborn.
