Nose : Complex and overtly floral nose with elderflower and mint being the two botanicals that really start to stand out above the crowd after a few minutes. Palate : A rich yet silky smooth gin that is a rare beast in that it is pleasant to drink neat. A citrus note from the lemon balm is prominent throughout, balanced by a smorgasbord of floral flavours from the many botanicals used. Sometimes too many ingredients can be a bad thing, but in this case the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. Finish : Long and complex, with the botanicals slowly disappearing, one by one to leave a lovely minty freshness at the very end.
