An interesting new flavour from Mother's Ruin using rose geranium and fennel seed, this time at 40% rather than as a liqueur. The bottle puts us in mind of traditional genever bottles (genever being a juniper spirit with an even longer history than gin), while the 'mother's ruin' name is also a call back to the spirit's history.
The creators of this gin recommend serving with a plain tonic (as in, not one of those newfangled specifically flavoured ones), with a pink grapefruit peel garnish. Sounds ideal.
Floral and herbal as you'd expect, with rose and citrus notes, as well as aromatic cumin and liquorice depth from the fennel seeds.
