Spicy and sweet, authentic Bombay style gin.
Here, the botanical mix includes cinnamon, which adds a warming and spicy kick to the spirit, differing from Pickering's Gin which tweaks the original recipe to suit a more contemporary palate.
This sample size is perfect for tasting the gin-style of a bygone era!
Recommended serve: with ice, tonic and a wedge of lime.
Nose: Dried lime peels at first, though it soon enough develops a core of chopped green herbs.
Palate: Soft and creamy, and quite Christmas-y too! Cinnamon, clove and fruit notes result in an almost mince pie-like flavour profile.
Finish: Remains festively sweet, with a crackle of peppery juniper right on the tail.
