It’s all quite unexpected, but the gin is never short of engaging — and I daresay it’s a versatile operator, too. It’s definitely worth checking out, no matter how you (think you) like your gin.
Big fan of this batch as well, as it’s been some years since the last time I tried this gin. The tea really does add some pleasant complexity, and while I tried this in both a martini and a gimlet, I honestly think it's best neat on its own where each facet of it can shine.
There's a highly perfumed quality on the palate, like orange flower water and flowering lemon. Very pretty, persistent and an expert broadening of the London dry gin palette.

House Review
Nose:
Rich, herbal and fresh with juniper. Sweet cream, lavender, tea, coriander. Really well balanced.
Taste:
Medium mouth feel, nice body. Heat is very well behaved. The first thing that strikes me is the sweetness - lots of vanilla cream. Then the tea and juniper hits. Delightful complexity, lots going on. Lots of pepper on the back palate.
Finish:
Short but clean. Juniper and tea hang on for a while, nice exit with sweetness and pepper to keep thongs interesting.
Overall:
