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.

It’s the best gin I’ve ever tasted - neat, on the rocks or with tonic and a slice of lime
This gin has a soft mouth feel and is at the sweeter end of the dry gin spectrum ( to be a clear, it is NOT a sweet gin ). It has a very pronounced and clear taste of cardamom ie. It succeeds in setting out to do what it says on the bottle. As the cardamom taste remains subtle, I would tend to drink this neat on ice, or mix it with a more neutral tonic ( maybe with lime ) or make a delicious martini with a lighter style vermouth with herbal notes ( like a Chambery vermouth ) that will not overwhelm the delicate cardamom notes.
balanced deep and broad taste on tongue and all mouth of cardamom and citrus and juniper - great experience
A very subtle tasting gin,completely different in taste to the run-of-the-mill gins which have flooded the market recently.Makes an unusual Martini with a5 mils each of Creme de Rose and Creme de Violette.
This is one of the best tasting gins I've ever tried. Was slightly suspicious but eventually ridiculously pleased that I bought this. The cardamom flavour is by far the strongest note of a really gorgeous tasting gin that I tend to either drink on ice, with soda, or use as a replacement for 'normal' flavoured gins in cocktailes.
