Papillon Dartmoor
Papillon Gin 70cl
Customer Rating
“This is a favourite gin of mine. Initially it has a light, citrus taste and then you finish with a gorgeous rounded botanical flavour from locally picked ingredients such as gorse and violets. I've found that combining it with a Mediterranean or Indian tonic allows the delicate flavours to shine through. Papillon is highly drinkable, and it's a plus being able to be part of butterfly conservation as I'm enjoying it!! ”

Description
From Dartmoor come Papillon Gin, which makes the most of its local botanicals, with gorse flowers, rowan and hawthorn berries, chamomile, nettle, navelwort and Devon violets in there among its 17 botanicals. It not only captures the spirit of Dartmoor, but a percentage of the profits from each bottle is donated to a local butterfly conservation project which protects the local threatened Dartmoor butterflies that feed on wild violets.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Zesty citrus initially, with building aromatic cardamom and gorse, rounded off by a wave of floral notes on the finish.
