To create their Cardamom Gin, the distillers at Sacred in Highgate steep green Guatemalan Cardamom pods in English grain spirit, which is then re-distilled. As you can imagine, the intense, spicy notes of cardamom come to the fore, with classic juniper notes supporting it.
Aromatic with earthy spice and black tea, with some bright, almost oaky heat backing it up.
Yep, plenty of spicy cardamom here, with hints of juniper and leafy coriander in support.
Continued cardamom fragrance, plus a subtle sweetness developing.

My son bought me a selection of ‘dram’ gins for Christmas, all good, but this one stood out, I have tried many gins in my life but this one is simply the best!!!
Just discovered today at their shop in Highgate. Absolutely amazing.
Wow. Just wow! Blown away by this beautiful cardamom delight.
As another reviewer has said, cardamom is uppermost in in the flavour notes, if you don't love cardamom this gin may not be for you. I found it very dry and in need of a touch of sweetness to balance it. When I tried it first with London Essence Rhubarb and Cardamom soda the cardamom was just too dominant. I then tried it with Fentimans Rhubarb tonic water and a dash of Fee Brothers Rhubarb bitters and it instantly became one of my favourite aperitifs.
Absolutely delicious. So glad I ordered this on the strength of the glowing reviews. A beautiful warming cardamom scent and taste. A winner for me!
