An Old Tom gin from the Poetic License distillery in Sunderland! tasting inspiration from the sweet style of gin popular in the 1800s, this tasty treat features hibiscus and rose petals as part of its botanical selection, leading to its sweet flavour profile.
A slight whiff of the petals here, but juniper stands at the fore.
Here's where the sweetness really kicks off! Cracked black pepper and sugared petals play off one another.
Continued peppery notes last.
I tried this at Christmas and it is now one of my favourite gins. I love the peppery flavour along with the sweetness of rose petals while the oak finish adds a touch of colour.
