About this bottle

Garden Grown Gin, previously known as Distillery Botanica Gin, utilizes "enfleurage." This method employs coconut oil to extract floral notes without heat. Alongside juniper, it features chamomile flowers, rose, sage, orris root, and murraya, a flowering plant that imparts the aroma of an Australian summer garden.

Leon Morrell 4.0

Nose: Very aromatic, incredibly crisp and clean. Rose, sage, and jasmine are the dominant scents, though there's also a hint of lavender, which is unusual since it's not listed as an ingredient (perhaps I'm detecting another floral aroma?). Subtle spice notes form the background. Palate: A sharp, invigorating entry featuring juniper, floral notes, mild citrus, and seed spices. The taste develops lively and fresh with a faint peppery note, but the texture is a contrast, feeling creamy and smooth. Finish: Medium in length. It's fragrant and slightly sweet, becoming drier towards the end. There's absolutely no bitterness in the aftertaste. The botanicals in this gin are exceptionally pure and well-defined. The aroma is subtle yet precisely sharp, and the taste is crisp and tangy. Nothing about it feels heavy; it's delightfully fresh when consumed neat. The only other thing I've tasted that's comparable is The Botanist. This is a great gin to drink straight over a small ice cube, or with plain soda water. Its delicate and subtle nature means that while it works well in a G&T, it can be overpowered by a strong tonic. I found Fever Tree Mediterranean to be a good match, but I would steer clear of any flavored tonics. I enjoyed this gin and grew to appreciate it more as I became more familiar with its profile. At first, it seemed a bit too subtle, but as you develop a taste for it, you realize its refinement and subtlety. "Very Good": 85/100 (4 stars)

Forrest Redding 5.0

A wonderfully delicate and floral spirit that delights the senses with its aroma and taste. The bottle also serves as a beautiful vase once empty.
