Tasting Notes Profile:

Nose:
Warm and inviting, the nose opens with vibrant notes of coriander seed, nutmeg, and cinnamon bark, layered over a classic base of juniper berries. There’s a subtle sweetness in the background—orange peel, clove, and a gentle hint of cardamom lend intrigue and spice.

Palate:
Smooth and full-bodied, the palate unfolds with a lively interplay of warming spices and citrus zest. The juniper core remains prominent, while flavors of ginger root, cumin, and black peppercorn create a layered and assertive profile. A touch of liquorice and angelica root provides balance and complexity, making this gin both robust and elegant.

Finish:
Long and aromatic, the finish carries through with notes of clove oil, spiced orange, and a final flicker of peppery heat. A dry and warming afterglow lingers, perfect for winter cocktails or contemplative sipping.

Overall:
Darnley’s Spiced Gin is a unique and sophisticated spirit that redefines the spiced gin category. Bold in flavor yet smooth in delivery, it stands out in both classic and contemporary cocktails—particularly a Spiced Negroni, G&T with a twist of orange, or served neat with a splash of soda. Crafted with care by a family steeped in whisky tradition, it is a gin for those who appreciate both heritage and innovation in every pour.
