ABOUT EXPLORER'S GIN
SCENTS OF ADVENTURE
Nose: Citrus and floral fragrances with warming undertones of pepper with red cedar providing the backbone.
Palate: Juniper provides the initial notes, but this gives way to the bright fresh citrus which rolls on your tongue. Verbena provides a mellow creaminess, with the peppers providing the warmth at the back of the mouth. Western red cedar brings back those memories of being in a pine wood in the summer. As the Szechuan pepper oil oxidises on your tongue it causes the mouth to start cool providing the subtle mint note. This then enhance the tail notes of fennel seed and liquorice providing the final flourish that lingers in the mouth.
Finish: Close your eyes and let your palate explore the subtle flavours, as Explorer's Gin enriches your senses. Being a London dry it will leave you wanting more.
