The aroma is bursting with fresh blood orange, which carries through to both the palate and finish. The juniper provides a nice balance throughout. I found the finish slightly sharp when consumed neat, but it would easily be masked in any mixed drink. My sole critique is that the pronounced juicy notes might be restrictive if you intend to use it in cocktails.

Visually clear, the gin has a pronounced citrus aroma, specifically blood orange, with hints of juniper. On the palate, the gin is vibrant, with the botanicals complementing the citrus taste rather than dominating it. Well executed.
Acceptable, but it doesn't quite hit the mark for me. Compared to other orange-flavored spirits like Tanqueray Sevilla, this comes across as harsher and more artificial in my view.
Nose: orange, acetone, anise, possibly mint. Palate: sweet and citrusy, like orange syrup. Finish: sweet, with some warming spices. Tasty, particularly on the palate and finish.
Purchased at a specific butcher shop in Chiclana.
Enjoyable and potent, I like it
