WARNER'S HONEYBEE GIN - UK - 43º

Nose: Rhubarb notes bursting through: tart, fruity, fresh, invigorating, and inviting.

Taste: Bright rhubarb stalks upfront, with a brief flash of sourness. This is followed by an array of sweet spice: vanilla, nutmeg, and ginger, which add balance. Classic gin notes then come through, with resinous juniper and the spicy citrus of coriander.

Finish: Long and lingering, with the indulgent, buttery, spiced notes of rhubarb crumble and clotted cream.

A captivating spirit that showcases a genuine character of rhubarb whilst allowing the gin to shine through. The perfect balance of sweet and sour.

Suggested serves:

Mixer: Mediterranean tonic water or ginger ale.

Garnish: Slice of orange, blood orange or a stick of rhubarb.

Nose: A bright nose with creamy, exotic spice, before crisp citrus and green juniper.

Taste: A fantastic texture with a rich viscosity that coats the tongue and mouth. Fresh juniper upfront, with a tiny hint of salinity, which moves onto fragrant coriander and citrus, before a subtle mix of dry angelica and gentle spice.

Finish: An indulgent vanilla creaminess that’s accompanied by sweet spice and green herbs. The flavours linger on the palate for minutes afterwards.

A luxurious spirit that is both versatile in cocktails and delicious on its own, especially when sipped over ice.

Garnish: Any citrus fruit, we like orange.

A spirit with a fine synergy between bright gin notes and complex elderflower. Well-balanced and moreish.
