What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The flavour and production details are listing claims rather than independently verified measurements. The botanical descriptions vary slightly: French lavender and two kinds of orange peel are named in one listing section, while the production description refers to lavender and dried sweet orange peel. Consider this a cocktail-oriented gin with a listed 42% vol strength, rather than assuming the written tasting notes will match every palate.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Cocktail makers looking for a gin with a botanical profile beyond a pronounced juniper focus.
- Buyers interested in making an Aviation cocktail or a G&T with elderflower tonic and pink grapefruit.
- People seeking a gin bottle presented as a gift.
Less suited to
- Buyers who specifically want a strongly juniper-led London Dry profile.
- People seeking an unflavoured spirit or a gin with no listed botanical character.
