The work of London's Pleasure Gardens Distilling Co., it's Marylebone Orange & Geranium Gin! The vibrant small batch tipple showcases the two eponymous botanicals alongside six others, and the floral, fruity spirit is bottled up at 46.2% ABV. Garnish with a slice of fresh orange and a twist of lime peel to really enhance those citrus notes.
A delicate nose, though fragrant geranium and sweet, juicy orange are evident. Distinctive coriander lingers in the background.
Floral geranium hits first with an almost rose-like quality, along with sweet orange and subtly bitter orange pith, as well as peppery juniper.
Juniper lingers alongside notes of orange Starburst and Turkish delight.
You don’t see much of the orange in this one. Much as I love geranium it is just overpowering here. And it is so sweet it gets sickly even with a good sharp tonic. With the addition of Campari or Sloe gin it becomes much more agreeable. I cannot taste anything to justify this price tag for 50 cl.
