Melissa Lemon Balm Gin - UK - 43º

Nose: A flourish of honeysuckle, chamomile, and orange blossom, followed by spicy notes of coriander and crisp aromas of citrus and pine.

Taste: A silky texture coats the tongue. There are initial flavours of woody pine, before a touch of cherry and fragrant blossom. A peak of pollen and pine honey follows, accompanied by a dash of biscuity spice, reminiscent of tiffin cookies.

Finish: A long and lingering finish with a slight, honeyed sweetness and hints of cedar and pine blossom

Suggested serves:

Mixer: Mediterranean tonic water or Premium Indian tonic water.

Garnish: Slice of lemon with sage (optional), a slice of pink grapefruit, or a slice of apple.

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.

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.

Nose: Complex, with floral citrus and spice, followed by the unmistakable fragrance of fresh elderflower.

Finish: Clean, with a pleasant mix of dry juniper and a light sweetness.

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

Nose: Rich, jammy sloes: plump, with a little fragrant almond, warm spice, and dry stone fruit.

Taste: A soft start with a real crescendo of flavour: juicy berries make way for spice, before clean juniper and zesty citrus. A good balance of sweet-fruity and dry-herbal flavours.

Finish: Dry, slightly tart fruit combined with vanilla and cardamom spice.

This sloe gin has a true harmony between the sloe berries and a characterful spirit. It is pleasant to sip and savour, with a robust character that will also stand up well in long drinks.

Smooth layers of fresh citrus with subtle notes of spicier oriental botanicals and the intiguing gunpowder tea, brings an exotic, long and mysterious finish to this itish curiosity

Taste: Vibrant raspberry coulis covers the palate and melds with fresh, tart blackberries and juniper.

Finish: Elderflower and blackcurrant combine on the finish to give a soft and lingering zing.

Mediterranean tonic water, garnish with a few blackberries and a sprig of fresh mint, then raise a glass with us: to craft, to the land, to laughter, and loved ones
