Notes

  • Whitley Neill's hints of fynbos. Brilliantly chewable G&Ts.
  • Beefeater 24's seville oranges in a Negroni?
  • No.3 in a dry martini with a lime twist
  • Dr J's: offputting in a G&T, but good in a martini
  • Heston: hated it initially. But good as an Earl Grey Martini.
  • Sacred: excellent dry martini with lemon twist. Cardamom like No.3. Smooth.

Tasting - Martini

  • As a dry dry martini perhaps too warm and hence too dilute.
  • Very Smooth
  • Coriander

Tasting - G&T

  • Woody juniper
  • On the nose the Rose notes come out strongly
  • Palate lots of lemon with a long finish
