Friday Chic Gin 40%

Distilled in the Bairrada region of Portugal at the Caves de Montanha

Botanicals: Juniper, cardamom, rose petal, orange blossom and vine leaf.

Tasted: Oct 2017

The aromas are quite dense and slightly starchy with an almost tropical, citrus fruit character. Hints of rose petal and very subtly, warm juniper. With time it becomes a little sweet and herbal.

The palate is full and slightly oily, opening with loads of sweet orange and hints of rose petal. The juniper is rather buried, but it has a good weight, if somewhat simple. Subtle herbal and bitter finish.
