Description

Appearance
When poured neat, the gin boasts a striking deep indigo hue, thanks to the post-distillation infusion of butterfly pea flower. Once an acidic element like tonic or citrus is added, the vibrant indigo transforms into a captivating light purple, creating an engaging visual experience.

Nose
On the nose, the gin opens with classic juniper-forward aromas, underscored by the earthy, herbaceous notes of angelica and licorice root. The freshness of lemon verbena and lemongrass lifts the scent, adding zesty citrus highlights. Gentle floral tones of chamomile provide a soft, calming backdrop while a hint of spicy warmth from ginger root lingers.

Palate
The initial taste is crisp and juniper-forward, as expected from a London dry base. As it evolves, coriander and ginger root delivers a subtle warmth that contrasts beautifully with the cool, slightly floral undertones of chamomile and butterfly pea flower. The lemon verbena and lemongrass provide a refreshing, citrusy brightness that balances the gin’s earthier elements, leaving a silky, slightly sweet mouthfeel from the licorice root.

Finish
The finish is long and clean, with the juniper and coriander gently fading, giving way to lingering citrus and herbal notes. As the acidity interacts with the butterfly pea flower, the changing colour symbolizes the shift from the bold botanical core to a more delicate, floral finish.
