Darnleys

Spiced Gin (200ml)

Using a slightly more broad range of botanicals, the Darnleys Spiced Gin is a very different beast to its flowery sibling. Juniper, coriander seed and angelica root return and are joined by nutmeg, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, cassia, grains of paradise and cloves. On the nose the juniper is much more present than in the Elderflower, and on the whole is more pungent, with the cinnamon making itself known. The taste is indeed quite spicy, with a particularly long, ginger-laden finish. The Spiced gin lends itself wonderfully to a rich and full-flavoured martini, or for something a little different, try it with ginger beer and a slice of orange.
