Using Dartmoor spring water for softness we have created a citrus centric, orange forward, peppery gin - lemon and orange peel, fresh pink grapefruit and oarnge zest, juniper, kaffi r lime leaves, cardamom, coriander & Seville orange blossoms. Extremely fragrant and light this gin sips well on the rocks and makes a memorable G&T with a twist of orangebut we like it with a dirty black olive. Sni ff It, Sip It, Mix it, Drink it. (Take a bath in it). Crafted in Gin Geek Heaven.
