Archie Rose Bone Dry Gin
Opening with a brisk, clean juniper aroma, like the scent of freshly crushed pine needles on a crisp winter morning. There's a hint of lemonade icy pole too, a flavour often associated with lemon gum, which helps to make the juniper more inviting and cues whisps of nostalgia. This gin hits the' dry' mark without feeling arid or overwhelming by keeping the botanical profile pared back and relying on different citrus elements. The considered use of each ingredient lifts the resinous juniper and complements it. Dried coriander seed does a lot of heavy lifting for the drier elements, but the slight astringency from fingerlime creates flashes of intricacy that allude to an incredibly considered production. Most certainly a gin for a classic gin lover.
