Darnleys Gin 70cl

The botanical list of Darnley's View is fairly short; in fact, refreshingly short at only six botanicals, Juniper, Coriander Seed, Lemon Peel, Angelica Root, Orris Root, Elderflower; Elderflower seems to be a fairly popular botanical, making an appearance in a few gins from Scotland as well as in several from farther afield; it offers sweetness, fruitiness and floral notes all in one neat hit. The aroma of Darnley's View is gentle and sweet. There is juniper there, but it is mild and the smell of alcohol is present. Its scent is somewhat understated. Sampled neat, Darnley's View is sweet, spicy and floral with a quite long, dry finish. It's smooth and that alcoholic twang is well contained - a testament to its pentuple-distillation, no doubt. In a G&T, Darnley's View is a blinding mix in a good way. The juniper is gently assertive - smooth and gentle, but certainly not taking a back-seat. The attack is sweet, fruity and floral with just a hint of that delightful lychee flavour that is carried by Elderflower. This quickly mellows to a warm, dry and spicy finish. The bite is there, but like the juniper, it is gentle but firm
