This is another fine product from The London Distillery Company (disclaimer: I am biased and I don't try to hide it) and bottled at 57% ABV compared to 47% for the regular Kew Organic Gin. The nose has lots of lemon peel, fresh cut grass, sage and other herbal notes. The taste is at first very sharp, citrus oil and alcohol dominate but then turns to peppermint. Rich and stringent mouthfeel, powerful but not overpowering. Finish dries as alcohol disapates leaving white pepper on the tongue. Drinking it neat with the alcohol, mint, citrus and pepper spiciness it made me think of Christmas. Probably not for everyone at this strength but it does mean it can stand up well to lots of ice and tonic.
