LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

A technical masterclass. It is the only gin in the world to be inducted into the San Francisco World Spirits Competition Hall of Fame—a spirit that proved gin can be both powerful and incredibly fresh.

The Library Note

Based on time-honored recipes, this gin uses a selection of hand-picked botanicals from around the globe. Its creation is a testament to the distiller's art, harmonizing spicy, floral, and earthy notes into a singular liquid experience.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Electric and bright. Intense aromas of fresh grapefruit and lime zest are underpinned by a clean, piney juniper.

THE PALATE

Explosive and smooth. Layers of fresh citrus oils and chamomile flowers are balanced by a sophisticated herbal spice and a robust 47% proof.

THE FINISH

Exceptionally long and fresh with a persistent, oily citrus tingle.
