A bright delicate off-dry metheglin with refreshing juniper balanced by subtly sweet orange and basil notes.

Bottle sample at HoneyMaker, pours a clear blonde. Aroma brings out lots of juniper berries and basil upfront, with the oranges further back. No hint of honey. Flavour is very herbal, with lots of juniper berries dominating, with a touch of basil and bone dry honey somewhere underneath. This is just not my thing - too herbal and gin-like.

Draft at the source. Clear bright golden yellow color. Aroma of gin and light tannins. Gin is more prominent in the flavor makesbit seem more boozy even though it’s the same abv as the others. More complex, dry finish
